Hi there.
I hear you & wonder aloud if you may have stopped the 5%minoxidil lotion perchance after 5 months as you seem to suggest.
It is a common occurrence that of the hairs that sprout with regular use of minoxidil, more often than not, most fall after stopping its regular application.
It is highly unlikely that biotin will have caused this issue on its own.
For a more detailed assessment, please feel free to drop by Vikram Hospital in Bangalore & we can take it from there.
From your description of your hair status I feel you are a good candidate for a hair transplant either by the FUT or FUE technique. I could offer you both & a detailed discussion in person or should you chose the private HCM portal.
Good Luck & wish you a good head of hair soon.
