Hair fall solution

Question

Hair fall solution

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I started taking minoxidil topical solution 5% about 8 days ago and I'm still continuing it. For how long will I be experiencing the sudden hair fall (for the minoxidil to regrow new hair) approximately? Because the hair fall is still there and it's making me panic. A detailed reply would really be appreciated. Thank you:)

Don't self treat. There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
