Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. It is characterized by hair loss and thinning from the front, mid and vertex part of the scalp manifesting as reduced hair volume/bulk and receding anterior hair line. I suggest you to apply minoxidil 5% solution, 1ml, twice daily, on scalp skin. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antiandrogen i.e finasteride 1mg tablet, once a day. Both of these are approved medications for androgenetic alopecia in males. Treatment is long term and goal of treatment is to prevent further progression.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Mintop (Minoxidil) 5 or 10% is a solution which is applied on the scalp once or twice a day which helps in promoting new hair growth. To see optimum results one must use it for at least a year. Along with that you must start with multivitamin tableets which have Biotin in them.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
