I had been facing with hair receding since age 15, at the age of 16 I went to dermatologist who suggested me minoxidil 5%, finax & follihair tablets. I took it for a year and it did not work so the doctor called me back and told me to take tugain foam instead of minoxidil. These medicines are very expensive and later in net I started reading about their side effects. I even got to know that as soon as I stop taking them, the hair will again start falling. Being pricey rs 3,000 for 3 months approx & I did not want it to be a lifetime thing. I stopped & to my shock nightmare did happen, all or most new hairs as well as existing hair went away by age 21. At age 22 I was suggested for a homeopath and said to come for check after 3 months. She again gave me the same medicine saying it will work. I continuously took this medicine for 3 years. As of now age 25 there has been no drastic improvements as such. Still bald areas can be seen from all over scalp. It feels the same as age 16 so I stopped homeopathy medicine as well. My diet is a complete balanced diet, including fruits. So shall I continue taking the homeopathy coz it's free from side effects? Please help.
