Hairfall is not due to one single cause. There are many conditions which can cause extreme hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause of hair fall with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes maybe nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia also called pattern baldness, hypothyroidism, telogeun effluvium etc. Unless we find and c, read the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Also one should refrain from home remedies as it does not give any relief from hairfall. Oil and shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Please contact me using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment.

Hi lybrate-user. Yes it is completely safe to use minoxidil over scalp. Yes, it increases hair fall initially but only for a short duration i.e. Because of its mechanism of action of hair growth. Nothing to worry. If hair fall is occurring initially only it means that drug is working.

Hello. If the cause of your hair fall is androgenetic alopecia then minoxidil wil surely help. Initially there may be more hair fall when you use minoxidil but gradually and by the end of 3 months you can see noticible increase in hair density. It has negligible side effects. Thanks.
