Question: Hello,
Few days back I posted a query regarding male pattern baldness. I was advised to take Biotin supplement like TAB, folligro, essvit and minoxidil 5% for applying on scalp.
My query is will applying minoxidil 5% on scalp alone will work or do i need to take biotin supplement. I started using minoxidil 5% from past one week.
Thanks
