Hair thinning, falling, roots are weak
I am just 22, just a week ago after a hair cut i noticed that my scalp was quite visible when clicking picture using flash from the top portion of head. It is stopping me to do my work, study its demotivating me its hard to get think about something else than this problem these days.
Please diagnose it. By these pictures.
I have consulted an doctor he told this a "androgenetic alopecia". And prescribed me minoxidil 5% , extend hair tablet and rewin tablet.
I have been using minoxidil since last 2 days at night.
Please diagnose it from your side.
#also i m suffering from 2 ringworm on body for a month ago which were spread by "jock itch" as doctor said last time. So can this fungal infection be the reason of hairloss ???
I have been noticing hair fall after taking a shower,when i get my fingers into hair some 6-7(maximum) hair fall is noticed.
Diagnose it and please tell me should i.use minoxidil daily or stop using completely??? Today i have faced a heavy "headache" in the morning.

You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
