Stopped minoxidil 10% after one month
Hi sir/madam,
I visited a dermatologist for mild hair loss in july'24, doc prescribed me oral minoxidil IP 2.5mg and minoxidil 10% lotion and a few vitamin tablets (Androfol-m, HHcal-trol, vitamin d3). I stopped the treatment after one month(Aug'24) of usage due to health issues. Moreover, I got to know that minoxidil must be used life long, I was unaware of this fact back then when I was using it. Now I'm losing more hair than earlier and my hair condition literally gone worse( scalp visibility). I don't have family history of baldness. Currently (Nov'24) I'm taking above mentioned vitamin supplements without minoxidil. I'm confused whether I'm in shedding phase( effect of minoxidil) or hair loss. Kindly suggest what to do
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.
