Hair Loss without hairfall
I am suffering from receding hairline and lost density on top back since May and it's receding so fast. But I have very less hairfall about 8-10 hairs a day but doctor has recommended me minoxidil and finasteride topical solution but as I have heard it causes very much hairfall so should I use it as I have very less hairfall.the consulting doctor didn't knew about hairfall. I have also previously asked many times but every doctor only gave their advertisement please any good doctor help me to only tell this short thing

Minoxidil solution might cause initial hairfall but works better in a long run, use atleast for 6 months for better result, then you have to continue. Consult for further queries.
