I've been dealing with pretty bad hair loss for a while now. A couple of years back, I went to a dermatologist who suggested using Dr. Reddys Mintop 5 topical solution together with Finax 1 mg tablets for about two months, which worked really well initially. My hair loss went down, and I even saw some regrowth. But then from June 2014 until January 2017, I continued using Mintop. After that, I switched to ayurvedic and homeopathic remedies for about 45 months. Unfortunately, that seemed to make everything worse, as my hair started falling out again in clumps. I'm really worried and not sure what steps to take now. Could you give me some advice?

I'm thinking about starting minoxidil for my male pattern baldness, but I'm worried about what happens if I stop using it. Will all the new hair I grow just fall out, and will my original hair shed faster than usual? I really want to understand this before I decide. Can you help clarify this for me?
