I ve been losing hair for couple years.Recently I discovered the reason. I am not bald but it's very thin and I can see clearly my scalp skin when I move my finger through my hair especially in the crown area and the sides. The dermatologist gived me minoxidil 2% to apply twice a day.for two months. -will my hair fall out when I stop the minoxidil after 2 months using it? -will my hair Stop falling and start to regrow again Like it used to be when I cure my anemia? Thank you so much.
