hi;
Male pattern baldness is difficult to treat as it is because of male hormone.But still you try to reduce stress in your life if any start some multivitamins with minerals .You can use minoxidil if you want it may help .Try applying castor oil to your head daily at night & hope for the best .
thanks

hi gideon.
are you suffering from female patterened alopecia? I suggest you continue using minoxidil2% lotion twice daily and also take tab biotin 5mg once daily. get your hemoglobin checked to rule out anemia. you must realize that medical treatment has certain limitations and at best may give you20-25% improvement only. you may consider surgical restoration of hair or you may use camouflage therapy for which many options are available.
