I'm loosing my hair from past 7 years. Now my scalp became visible. Only my maternal grand pa had baldness. I don't have any health issues and no medication. I can't afford for PRP and wasted for laser therapy. Scalp is visible (crown and top of forehead. Can I opt for minoxidil 5% for regrowth? What if I stop minoxidil? Can I loose my hair again? Suggest me proper medicines with minimal side effects.

If you can't afford PRP then start applying minoxidil 5% 1 ml twice daily. It will save your hair from falling. But you have to apply it ever after.

Minoxidil is good and is widely used. Once the hair grows you can stop it and try.
