Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss And Receding Hair Line

23 y/o male.Over the last 2 years my hair has turned from voluminous thick to thinner and little fuzzy along with a receeding hairline.Have started vitamin supplements,good diet and regular exercise but it still seems to be progressive.Also my blood reports including thyroid are normal.Im sure if I don t intervene,within a years time I will have Frank balding.Should I start with topical minoxidil? Can it be used every alternate day instead of daily for better compliance? Once I start , the use should be lifelong or I can taper off if I get satisfying results?

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Sorry to hear about your receding hairline. Please note that I am yet to find a solution for male patter balding, there are cosmetic =expensive solutions out there, I guess trying other remedies does not hurt. There are many men in their twenties that I have met that are balding. I hope this helps and good luck.
