Male pattern hairloss
I was diagnosed with mpb by a dermatologist one year ago.she told me to take prp treatment 8 sessions with one session per month. She also prescribed minoxidil and a serum with biotin tablets. Already 5 sessions were completed but still there is excessive hair loss with 50-80 strands per hairwash and my scalp is increasingly visible than before. I heard that finesteride will work well for early balding but my doctor is not prescribing it. What should i do?

Hi Thanks for your query. Hair in young men is usually attributed to hormones and genetics. Since we are unable to change your genetics, we can take steps to protect the hair you have and fight the effect of hormones and genetics.
Options include using vitamins to balance your diet, such as a Hair/Nail/Skin vitamin. Topical medications such as minoxodil to increase blood flow to the hair follicle. Oral medication such as finastride to block the effects of hormones on the hair follicle.
You can consult on private chat with clinical photographs for personalised treatment

Hair takes time to grow back. Hair generally takes 4 to 6 months to grow back.
