Extreme Hair loss
I have been facing hair loss since few months. Currently I am using Minoxidil. Minoxidil is giving me extreme hairfall that I have never experienced before. I did try earlier many other hair serum alternatives like procapil etc it didnt work. Accompanied with this is dandruff. I know these are the side effects of minoxidil. I am educated about the work around of minoxidil. I just wanted to understand will it stop and when will it stop.

Hi I hope the minoxidil has been suggested to you by your doctor. The first month of starting minoxidil many do face slight hair fall but it stops then. For the dandruff you will need to use a medicated shampoo plz consult before using
