U can use hair fibres as a cosmetic alternative for the bald patches. It takes a minimum of 3 months post application to c any difference in ur hair loss. Hair growth is much later. It also depends on the grade of balding u r having and the extent of hair loss for the recovery. Many minoxidil products contain propylene glycol, and alcohol, which can lead to skin rash and irritation when applied topically. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
