Extremely hair fall problem
I am facing incredibly hair fall from some months.I had taken antibiotics some months ago.First I thought my hair fall is normal because of taking antibiotics.But after stopping antibiotics then also my hair is falling extremely till now.I have genetically long and thicker hair.But now I think it's become half.I do also see some grey hair.But one thing grandfather and my paternal uncle's have genetically androgenetic alopecia.One of my brother is also going through it.But I think my problem isn't androgenetic alopecia it's maybe telogen effluvium (I have searched a lot).Now I am using minoxidil 2% from some days.I want to know how much time should I use it?And how will I stop to use it?If I will see a positive result,then can I use it once a day?
Please don't suggest me to take an online consultion.I can't take it because I am from Bangladesh and there is no option to pay the fees from here.Please give me some suggestions
