Hair loss and hair thinning

2017-06-12 13:10:02
I have been using minoxidil 10% solution after a while my hair fall increased dramatically along with itching in the scalp. Should I stop using it? What would happen if I do?

Hi, the hairfall being experienced by you is nothing unusual. Increased hairfall after 4-6 weeks of usage of minoxidil is pretty common and almost always self limiting. It shall soon stop on its own. Nothing to worry about this. As far as itchy scalp is concerned, kindly meet the dermatologist who prescribed you, he/she will prescribe you a steroid lotion for local application which will cure your problem. Thanks
