Hair fall issue
I've previously consulted dermatologist for hair thinning issue in January this year and the doctor prescribed finax for 3 months and mintop for 4 months twice a day. I've completed the medicine course but couldn't follow the routine for minoxidil. Now I'm thinking of resuming the mintop again. Is there any possibility of me going bald completely after resuming mentop? Because I heard initially there's gonna be a lot of hairloss after using mintop. Does minoxidil really works?

You can restart Minoxidil and don’t withdraw it abruptly. There a temporary hairloss when you resume Minoxidil but it will settle down. Always consult your dermatologist for follow ups and use prescribed medications.

Not like that.. specific Medicine required..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.

Treatment of hairfall takes time and needs regular follow up.
Do not self medicate.
Minoxidil does cause initial increase In hairfall but that reduces in 3-4 weeks.
Consult online for follow up or visit your previous dermatologist
