Question

I'm worried because I've been using minoxidil for the past 20 days, and now I'm experiencing heavy hair fall and even noticing a new bald area. I'm really concerned and wondering if I should stop using minoxidil and finasteride. Have you seen this happen before, and is there something else I could try?

Question

I'm really concerned about my hair. It used to be so thick back in college, but now I've noticed my scalp is showing more on the top of my head. I don't see much hair falling out, but I have less hair and some of it's turning grey. I went to a doctor recently, and they just gave me a prescription without even checking into the problem. I'm trying to figure out what's causing my visible scalp and potential baldness. Any advice on what steps I should take?

Question

I've been noticing more than 50 hairs falling out every day, and they often have a white bulb at the root. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and is there something I should do to stop it?
