How can I manage male pattern baldness and hair thinning?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from hair thinning and seeing male pattern baldness which has been passed genetically. It has been quite a few years since where I do not see any growth of hair on the frontal section and crown area of the scalp.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

This we call it as androgenic alopecia. Yes, you can use Minoxidil 5 % for that. Along with that take Follihair (multivitamin) tablet daily. This should be continued for a more extended period.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
