Hairfall due to minoxidil withdrawal

2023-09-20 08:23:45
I used minoxidil on my hair for about 20 days and stopped after a few side effects. It has been around 2-3 months but my hair fall has increased rapidly, which was very very small before using minoxidil, and my hair density has become the worst it has ever been. Is there something I should do or should I wait a few months for my hair to grow back?
