Suggest Treatment For Growing Facial Hair In A Male
Hello Sir,
I am 25 years old, I have a small mustache and very small goatee at my chin. I dont have any facial hair other then that. I have been to endochronologist and he suggested me to use some DHT gel, which is not avaiable in India.
Is the use of mintop helps me?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Good day.
HAve you done the basic hormone work up like a fasting testosterone, LH , TFT etc? These are important in your case. Hopefully your endocrinologist have done all these. Even when you have enough circulating hormones, sometimes, the hair follicles in face may not be sensitive enough to these hormones and hence may not grow well. Mintop is used to grow scalp hair and may not really work for facial hair growth. If some of your friends or relatives can get DHT gel from abroad, it is worth trying.
