Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss which seems to be due to improper hygiene, genetic factors, hormonal changes and due to nutritional deficiencies.
You should apply Mintop directly to the scalp to help hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles. You should start with the use of Finasteride combinations as it interferes with the production of a male hormone which is related to causing baldness. You should take multivitamins containing biotin. Potassium permanganate use response varies from person to person. You should apply olive oil on the scalp for head massage. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start medication after proper prescription.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
