Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Minoxidil (rogaine) will be helpful in hair growth. You can apply twice daily. It should be applied for long term to get benefit. Using ketoconazole lotion along with this is helpful also. Taking soy palmetto based supplements like androanagen is good for this also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if any thing not clear.
Thanks.
