Brief Answer:
Minoxidil lotion and hair supplements

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and you seem to be developing hormone related hair loss.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply minoxidil 2 percent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily and take hair supplements like tablet follihair A once daily.
This treatment needs to be continued for at least 4-5 months to see significant results.
First there will be reduction in hair fall followed by regrowth of hair.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
