I am 21 years old, my hair started falling when I was 19. I went to a doctor and he gave a couple of tests, after the test results he prescribed minoxidil 5%, biotin, and a shampoo. But my hair was falling anyway, and once I stopped using minoxidil after using for 6-7 months, my hair-fall started massively. I have a visibly bald spot in my crown area and in front and the hair is completely thinned out. I have also tried natural treatments like the onion oil and some others, nothing seems to work anymore and this is affecting me mentally. If I start taking finasteride, will I see positive changes? If not what else should I do?

Hello lybrate-user, number of regions are responsible for hair fall. As hormonal unbalance, thyroid ,dandruff ,l ack of nutrition, anaemia ,some deficiency proteins and vitamins etc. According to cause we use oil, shampoo and other ayurvedic herbal medicines. Shampoo and oil are not solution for the hair fall they are temporary work. Some ayurvedic herbal medicines and yoga pranayam are very effective and only permanent solution.

Yes follow your dermats advise completely. Finasteride can help after proper analysis. Pro treatments once in 4-6 weeks also work great. For more you can connect with me online.
