Minoxil Shedding
Hi Docs,
I have been using Morr 5% topical minoxidil 1ml once for 5 months to save my temples that have receded 1cm from their initial position. My concern is, I read somewhere minoxdil shedding stops after 8 -10 weeks of its usage but I am still shedding sometimes the count of hair strand is 15-20 sometimes its 30-40 that too not daily but with a gap of 3-4 days.
Is this normal ? should I wait for more 2-3 months since I am using it once a day only. I have gone through a blood test of B12, Ferratin, D3, Thyroid which is normal. Also, I was not shedding before minoxidil. Please let me know your thoughts
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
