Should I consult dermatologist for hair
I am 23 yrs old and facing hair loss, I am seeing hair thinning in crown.
I have read about the side effects of minodixil and other medicines. I am reluctant to go to a dermatologist because I think he/she will suggest me the same medicine and I might have some side effects. Also I might have to eat it regularly everyday for 5-10 years, otherwise I will loss everything.
Even if I go for other procedures like hair transplant I will have to take this medicines to retain hair.
This might be misconceptions I have about the medicine, Can you please suggest me what I should do?
