Kindly provide details

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to be suffering from male pattern hair loss.
Minoxidil is the mainstay of treatment for this problem and helps in most patients .
I would like to know what percentage of Mintop have you been using ?
Have you been applying it regularly twice daily for three months?
Any other medicines you have been taking along ?
