Hello. I am 21 years old male. I am suffering from hair loss from last 3 years. I went to the dermatologist as soon as I noticed receeding hairline. he gave me minoxidil 5% and told me to apply it twice daily, and I am still using it but it didn't help me retain my existing hairs. I had good amount of hairs when i started using minoxidil 5% and now my scalp is clearly visible. minoxidil is ineffective on my crown area also. plz suggest me some treatment that can help regrow hairs
