Hello dear, Initial increase in hair fall after starting Minoxidil is normal, and there is nothing to worry about it. Male pattern baldness (Alopecia errata) usually follows a pattern of receding hairline & is related to genetic makeup and male sex hormones. Management involves Minoxidil preparations (5%) applied directly to the scalp helps in hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles. So, the treatment suggested by your doctor is correct, please continue as advised. In addition, you can also use:1. Finasteride preparations (like Final) which interferes with the production of male hormone linked to baldness.2. Multivitamin supplements containing Biotin. These medications have to be used regularly under the guidance of a Dermatologist. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
