Brief Answer:
Positive changes, just a beginning
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome.
I am Dr V XXXXXXX I am a Dermatologist and am glad to be helping you
I have noted the description and evaluated in the light of all the pics.
For anyone with this profile, I would suggest:
1 There is definite improvement. The best is yet to come as the medicines take fairly long, sometimes even 4-6 months to show full potential
2 Minoxidil 5% used one ml each time and twice daily is the recommendation.
3 Avoidance of rough and wet hair handling.
4 No massage
5 Having plenty of vegetables, fruits, proteins, good rest and sleep will be additional help.
I expect that in the coming weeks, the situation will be still more improved.
Regularity and proper dosage will surely help.
Please contact me for any clarification/help
One might reconsider using other medicines as it is likely that the suggested medicines would, by themselves be sufficient for sustaining recovery
Best wishes
