How Can Thinning Of Hair Be Treated?
I had a full head of hair, no thinning but a bit of a receding hairline. I have used Rogaine and applied it only to my temples for about 2-3 weeks and it has made my hairline recede even further and now it has gone from a bit of receding to being noticeable in just a few weeks. The hairs which are going away seem to be perfectly fine healthy hairs. Will these hairs grow back? When the shedding stop?

Hi,
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that if your hair fall didn’t stop even after using Rogaine then you might be suffering from nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalance.
Kindly get your serum calcium, vitamin B12, TSH done and consult a physician with reports for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
