Doctors’ responses
Based on your history, Diffuse Hair Thinning without hairline recession may indicate:
Early Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA): Yes, possible, especially with strong family history
Telogen Effluvium (TE): Sudden hair shedding due to stress/nutrition/medications
DHT Sensitivity (even at 21): Can start early
Minoxidil-induced shedding: Common in the first 2–3 months — may feel worse initially Here are the alternatives:
RX, 1) Minimalist 18% hair serum Apply once daily at night to dry scalp
2) Tab follihair A 1 tab after breakfast 3) Ketostar shampoo Apply twice a week
Follow these and follow up Better take my individual consultation.
Hello dear Please be aware See i doubt your hair loss is due to some other reason other than fungal or dermatitis Please stop minidoxil and consult dermatologist for immediate relief You can take neurobin forte once a day for 1 month but please take medication only on recommendation only Regards
You may have Telogen Effluvium, seborrheic dermatitis, or a mixed pattern of early AGA + sensitivity As you are taking minoxidil…it has issue of 2-3 month shedding and if you stop and u start again then it can cause rebound shedding
Minoxidil decision-Stop if irritation persists. Try natural methods for 3–6 months Serum-Use Redensyl + Procapil + Anagain serum nightly Microneedling-0.5 mm roller 1–2x/week to boost regrowth 15 min daily Supplements - Hair multivitamin + Vitamin D3 regularly(tab Follihair once daily after meal) Shampoo-Anti-dandruff protar (Ketoconazole) 2x/week + mild daily shampoo Tacroz 0.1 w/v apply 30 min before shampoo thrice weekly
