Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your complain you have a severe hair loss problem.
Minoxidil is helpful in hair loss problem. After using this, if you have problems like irritation, more hair loss than consult your doctor again.
Thyroid hormone imbalance also lead to hair loss problem.
