Question 1

I've noticed my hairline is receding, especially around the temple and frontal areas, and I tried using Minokem like my dermatologist recommended, but it doesn't seem to be working. I still have these baby hairs on my scalp. What's worrying me is that while there's no baldness on my dad's side, there is on my mom's - my uncle and grandfather are both bald. Could this be something genetic from my mom's side? Is there anything else I should try or consider?

Question 3

I've been off minoxidil for about three months now and I'm really worried because my hair is thinning and falling out more since I stopped. Originally, I was using it for acne and hair fall, and eventually switched to a stronger dose, but then I had ...

Accepted Answer

When you stop using minoxidil, hair shedding is common because the hair growth stimulated by minoxidil enters a resting phase. This shedding period can last a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors. However, for many, hair fall should stabilize within 3-6 months after stopping minoxidil, and the hair should return to its previous state (before minoxidil) over time.

To support your hair during this period:

- Maintain a Healthy Diet: Nutrients like biotin, vitamins A, D, E, and minerals like zinc and iron are important. BTN Ultra biotin can support hair health, but ensure a balanced intake.
- Reduce Stress: Stress management can help reduce hair loss and improve recovery.
- Use Mild Hair Products: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle shampoos to support your scalp.
If the hair fall continues or worsens, a follow-up with your dermatologist may be beneficial for personalized advice and to rule out other underlying causes.

Consult a healthcare provider or a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis, especially since you've noticed a change in the skin texture and color.
Avoid scratching or irritating the area further as it can worsen the condition.
Proper hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
If it is a fungal or bacterial infection, your doctor may recommend appropriate medications.
