I'm 26 years old, i'm using mintop forte 5 % solution from 1 month, my hair was going more. What should I do.

Question

Hi. Do not worry. When you use minoxidil (mintop forte 5), for initial 1 to 2 months there may be more hair fall .but you wil see noticible hair growth after 3 to 4 months. Be sure that you are using minoxidil for the right cause (diagnosed by a dermatolgist) and not after being self diagnosed. Thanks.

Hi! every problem and its treatment is available in the internet in 21 st century. But experience and medical degree is important for good evaluation of side effects associated with that. Do not worry, please stop this minoxidil first and consult dermatologist for evaluation of the problem. Hello Lybrate-user! hair loss can be due to various reasons, genetic, hormonal, nutritional, dandruff, stress ,pollution etc. We have to examine the scalp to know the reason for hair loss. If dandruff is present, it should be checked and be controlled in this age group. Blood tests like cbpesr ,tsh, lft, rbs, s.ferritin levels, s.b12 levels, s.vitamin d levels, s.testosterone levels need to be checked to know the reason and to focus on the internal factors. Mean while ,take balanced diet with proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, plenty of fluids for hydration, omega 3 rich foods like walnuts, flax seeds etc, iron rich foods like green leafy vegetables, liver, jaggery. Use a ph balanced shampoo .do not use too much of home remedies. Please do consult your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Do you have dandruff problem also. Regularly wash your hair with mild shampoo. 1. Vitamin for hair loss.(a, b and c) 2. Enrich diet with protein. 3. Do warm coconut oil massage. Take coconut oil and heat it up so that it is warm, but not too hot. Massage your scalp with this hot oil for a few minutes. 4. Avoid brushing wet hair. 5. Keep yourself hydrated. 6. Put on a shower cap for an hour then shampoo your hair. It helps to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. 7. Avoid hairstyles that pull on the hairline. 8. Ditch hair tools that use high heat. 9.
