Minoxidil shedding after 5 months

2020-12-28 12:32:40
I started to use morrf5 for the past 5months. The results were okay and it reduces my hair fall to a large extent. But for the past 15days I'm loosing density in my left temple and almost my scalp is visible (still using minoxidil). Is it a shedding phase? Or some other problem?
