Significant hair loss
Hello, I have significant hair loss especially in the crown area. I have visited multiple dermats but to no avail. My scalp is oily, with occasional bumps coming up. I recently contacted a dermat who suggested monoxidil 2% solution but I researched and found various side effects and that it doesn't work on oily scalp. Can someone please confirm if its okay to monoxidil and its side effects especially if hair loss is mainly due to hormone and stress. Its difficult to follow a treatment when multiple doctors suggest different things. Thank you !

Treatment depends on the grade...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
