Hello,
Welcom to Healthcaremagic.com.
Hairfall is because of two reasons Local (like fungal infection in scalp) or because of hormonal disturbance or general cause.
As minoxidil increases the blood flow to scalp it can either stop or increase the Hairfall. In your case it is later one, so please stop using it act as per your skin spacialist says.
