Hairfall from last 4 year
Male, 24I have been shedding my hairs from last 4 years and now it has taken a worst condition as my hairline has receded and taken a M shape and hairs are thinner on whole head and maximum hair has been thinning from the crown area also and my hairs from last 4 years are whitening... i have been on homeopath treatment but only dandruff was cured but it has started again, i shaved my head also due to thinning hair on head, also cut my hair in a buzzcut but then also the volume of my hair is reducing as the time is going... recently i am using mintop forte 5% solution from last 3 months but no positive effect has been seen... as i have long hairs i think that the serum is not reaching my scalp and pores that's why i am unable to see results... please help me to strengthen my hair volume and regrow hairs and reduce receding hairline and should i cut my hairs short so the serum must reach my scalp and pores...please help giving suggestion... thank you.

Thanks for the query. Male pattern baldness (MPB) is an increasing problem in today's society. Hair care is a daily ritual shaped by age, gender, socioeconomic status and internal health. With increasing affordability people are more aware of the cosmetic appearance and hair fall forms a major part of the complaints. It is more difficult to manage if there is a family member with similar hair fall, it indicates genetics and we know that the person is destined to lose hair if not intervened and corrective measures are not taken. The treatment typically consists of usage of oral medication (Finasteride) and topical lotion (Minoxidil in 5% strength). One needs to be patient with the treatment protocol as it takes months to see initial improvement. Minoxidil is recommended by US-FDA for indefinite usage. It gradually enlarges the miniaturized hair follicle to full grown hairs. The first 12 months of treatment is very important and Minoxidil should be continued twice daily or else the expected benefits may not happen. It is a good maintenance drug with minimal side effects. Certain dermatologists supplement biotin, hair serum and advice procedures like PRP therapy which may accelerate the rate of hair growth. PRP needs multiple sessions (4-6) roughly at 6 weeks intervals. PRP therapy is increasingly being accepted by dermatologists all over the world. Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.

Next Steps
Start on biotin supplements and food rich in iron content. Use a milder shampoo and consider frequent shampooing and conditioning.
Health Tips
Apply minoxidil on your scalp, and not hair.
