Brief Answer:
you should continue the treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
Usually hairfall starts or exacerbates post delivery and lactation. In your case, it seems that you have developed Female Pattern Alopecia which is characterised by thinning of central hairline followed by hair loss. This in turn leads to sparse hair in midline area. This type of alopecia is due to hormone known as Di hydro testosterone. Your doctor has aptly advised you to apply mintop forte and multivitamin tablets. It usually takes 3-4months before any positive effect is seen. Minoxidil which is present in mintop forte Initially leads to hair loss for 3-4 weeks . This initiall hair loss is due to fall of all catagen stage hair which are already destined to fall. So in my opinion, you should continue with the treatment as advised by your Dermatologist.
If you have any further query, you may ask me. Stay healthy.
