Hello , I have been using minoxidil 2% for the past 4 months that's when my hairloss started . I still have hair loss and lost half of the density. All the blood work came back normal and I have no other health problems except the hair loss. My doctor suggested me to use rogaine 5 % once a day instead of rogain 2% twice a day.. but my fear is whether shifting from 2% concentration to 5 % will increase hair shedding.? Plz suggest

At 4 months if you aren't seeing any growth then it's unlikely any hair will ever grow in that area again unless you get a hair transplant. You can try rogaine if you'd like but I doubt it will do anything.
The application of minoxidil may not be useful in the scar region as there may not be any hair in the underlying tissue. So, the better option would be to get a transplant done in this area.
