Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Your condition is known as androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness, which has genetic as well as hormonal factors as the causative factors. You need to use treatment for this condition regularly and it takes about 3 to 4 months to start showing the results as hair cycle itself takes this much time.

Start the following medications:

A. Tablet Finpecia/Propecia 1 mg, take one tablet once a day.

B. Rogaine (Minoxidil) 5 % lotion apply half a teaspoon twice a day.

C. Nizoral shampoo three days per week.

Do this initially for two months and follow up after that.

Thank you.
