Posted on Wed, 24 May 2017

Question: Hi, I am still experiencing hair fall,

Please suggest
This is what you recommended before....

Brief Answer:
Minoxidil and androanagen

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photographs.
It is androgenic alopecia caused due to excessive response of hair to testosterone.
I treat such cases with minoxidil and an anti androgen tablet ( saw palmetto ).
It gives good response in three months and is safe.
You can try this combination.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you.

I am using minoxidil for more than 4 years without any break, hair fall is still happening but it is less compare to 4 years before.
So,
Very few hair is left .
The area i am not using minoxidil, no hair fall there.
The area I am using minoxidill, hair fall exits.
Using androanagen for 1 year as 1/day. should I continue, if yes then is there any negative impact on health?
my age is 27, average blood pressure is 30-35, no other health issues or medicine I am taking.
Please advice.

You can start using 10 % minoxidil and you must apply it all over scalp.
Continue with androanagen.
If possible upload a photograph of your scalp.
