I'm a 26-year-old guy dealing with hair fall, and I've even got bald spots on my scalp. I really want to know how to open up pores on my scalp so my hair can grow back. Are there any treatments or medications that actually work? What's the best option out there, and should I be worried about any major side effects from these treatments?

To open pores on your scalp and promote hair growth, you can consider using minoxidil solution. Apply 1ml of minoxidil solution twice daily directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area. This can help stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. Another option is to use finasteride tablets, which can help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. The usual dosage is 1mg tablet once daily. Both minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for male pattern baldness and have shown effectiveness in promoting hair growth. Minoxidil solution may cause side effects such as scalp irritation, itching, or dryness. Finasteride may cause sexual side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction in some individuals. It is important to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.
