Suffering From Hair Loss And Crown Visible. Was Using Tugain And Mintop Forte. Suggest?
Question: i m suffering from hair loss. I was using Tugain 10% for last 1 yr. Since last 3 months I m using Mintop Forte (5%). I observe hair loss in crown part is clearly visible now. means, the rate of hair loss has been increased since last 2-3 months. can u pls advise me , whether i shall go back to Tugain 10 or continue with mintop forte ?
1) Though I used Tugain 10 for more than 1 year, the hair regrowth is not quite visible, but rate of hair fall was less.
2) When I started using Mintop forte since last two months, i feel more hair loss than before.
3) I m also taking finpecia tabs daily.
4) sweating near scalp area.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
You are having androgenetic alopecia.
It occurs as a result of sensitivity of male hormones to hair follicles.
Gold standard treatment is minoxidil.
Many dermatologist now days prefer 10% lotion over 5% in early part of treatment.
However there are many studies which claim there is no advantage of 10% over 5% in male pattern baldness.
In such situations I advise my patients to go and try for new hair treatments.
Now a days many new hair lotions are available for male patten baldness.They are safe and can be used for long time.
Alpecin lotion is such a new brand which i prefer to my patients.
Since it is a prescription drug you need to consult your dermatologist for this.
You can continue with mintop 5% along with finasteride.
Sweating over scalp has no direct relation with hair loss.
I hope this will help you.In case you need more help i will feel happy to help you.
Take care.

Dear Sir,
Thank u very much. But after using 5% lotion, I am having more hair loss since then. It has been more than 3 months I am using 5%.
Is hair regrowth really possible ?
Whether there is any alternative solution for it except transplantation, pls suggest.
Regards,
Hemanand
