Brief Answer:
Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) most likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely androgenetic alopecia (male pattern Hair loss). This is due to high action of DHT (dihydrottestosterone) on scalp.
Minoxidil is a FDA approved treatment for androgenetic alopecia. This should be used for at least 4 months to get benefit and should be continued also. If you want to discontinue it later you should wean it off gradually. You can use minoxidil 5 % with azelaic acid for this. You can apply 1 ml twice daily on scalp.
You can also use ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly which also has action against DHT as well as fungal infections.
Another product you can use along with minoxidil is Capixyl gel which is a biomimetic peptide complex helps in hair growth.
XXXXXXX Furterer (Complex 5) which you are using is based on castor oil and other extracts which is good for increasing scalp circulation and increasing hair tone. So you can continue it also.
Taking hair grow supplements containing biotin and essential nutrients is good also. If you taking the one with saw palmetto extract it will be more helpful for this. But some people get decreased libido when taking saw palmetto.
Most of the hair clinics will just do unnecessary hair treatments and extract money from you. So it is better to consult a dermatologist for this.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to hep you.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
You can use lipogaine or Rogaine.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome again.
Thank you for your follow up query.
You can use brands like Lipogaine 5 or Rogaine. Or you can get Rapid minoxidil 5 from XXXXXXX Minoxidil if you use for long term you will start getting benefits. But if you stop at once then it can cause falling of newly grown hair by minoxidil. It doesn't cause other hair to fall.
If you wan't to stop minoxidil don't stop at once. You should wean it off gradually. That is if you using it daily then reduce it to once in two days then once in 3 days like that you can reduce to weekly once. If you do this way then that problem won't occur.

Dear Dr XXXXXXX
Thank you for the email, I have ordered Rogaine already. Thank you for the answers.
Just last query. Many have mentioned that it is best if you use at night and leave it on and sleep and in morning wash it off. Then they say no need to apply again. Just once in 1 day is ok.
What will be your expert advice on the same.
