Hair fall and Dandruff

2022-10-01 18:19:51
Do I need prescription to start using minoxidil solution? I've tried different hair oils but doesn't seem to help with the dandruff/dry scalp and hair fall issues. Or do I need to take an appointment with a dermatologist? I don't want to go for hair treatment and am looking for any suggestions.
