How to stop hair fall due to a patchy beard naturally?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have been using Minoxidil 5 % topical solution twice a day on my beard for over three months to fix some patchy spots under the lip and cheek region. After the first month, I had hair fall in my scalp. This hair fall is increasing in numbers and I am losing more than 100 hair follicles nowadays. I also want to point out that I have used various essential oils with carrier oils on my scalp for more than two years. I have many questions, kindly provide me with detailed information. Can I apply essential oils on my beard (peppermint, hibiscus, and castor oil) in the meantime of applying Minoxidil? Also, recommend some essential oils that are androgenic. Does all the fallen hair on the scalp during this Minoxidil period regrow and is there any natural way to stop this hair fall during this period? How long does this hair loss last and what is the cause for this hair loss since I am only using Minoxidil in my beard? Should I bald-trim my head after this telogen phase? Since I have a long hair (6.2 inch)? Will I lose my hair after stopping the Minoxidil usage? Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Yes, you can apply but according to our science oil does not act on the roots. They will grow automatically nothing more you have to do. It can extend up to six months. Hair fall has nothing to do with the hair shaft. Minoxidil increases the blood flow of hair follicles on the scalp, this increase in blood flow will persist as long as you are applying Minoxidil. Once stopped you will return to the same stage of hair loss as you would have been without Minoxidil. I hope this helps.

Thank you.
