I am suffering from male pattern baldness heredity. I used minoxidil for long period, initially I got hair, along with that my weight raised to 90 kg from 78. Then I stopped and lost all the new hair. A doctor in a news channel said if the bald area is totally bald then applying a calotropis stem milk will cause rupture on the scalp and behind it a new skin with hair will be generated. Before trying this on me I wanted to ask experts. Does the hair grow if the scalp (skin) is some how ruptured and new scalp (skin) is generated? I wonder if the scalp is some how ruptured and new scalp is generated?

No. Not like that. You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
