Hair loss from accident
Date: 5/21/2014
Hi, I met with an accident and i lost my hairs from right eyebrow section doctor recommended me to use Manexil 2% gel in that portion, can i expect hair growth in that section? If yes, then what is the expected span required for hair growth??
Mayur
AskDocWeb: Whether or not hair will grow back depends in part on the type of damage caused by the accident. Was the hair burnt off, scraped off, or the hair roots damaged? Your doctor should be able to evaluate the skin condition of your eyebrow and give you an idea of what to expect. The active ingredient in Manexil 2% gel is minoxidil.
Face swelled
Date: 5/22/2014
I m 25 yr old male i hav been using minoxidil 5% on my scalp for about 3 weeks and have been reported a swelled face by some friends and also a decreased sexual desire …how long will these side effects take to go if i stop using this solution ??? Thanx
Sri
AskDocWeb: When minoxidil is applied topically it has a half-life of 22 hours in the skin. Since it has such a short half-life the side effects are not expected to persist more than a day or so.
Hair loss increased

I am using mintop 5% …now 3 weeks completed….but there is more hairloss in this 3 weeks…. Is mintop 5% working on my hair?
Ijaaz
AskDocWeb: If you are losing more hair then it sounds like it is not working. The instructions say to consult with your doctor if hair loss continues beyond two weeks.
Suffering from hair loss at 20 years old

I’ve been using Minscalp gel 10% for about 4 months, but still there is no signs of growing hair what shall i do now? am 20 year old. from past 2 years i’v been suffering from hair loss. can anyone plz guied me!..
Rohi
AskDocWeb: Have you had a medical check-up recently? Sometimes referred to as a physical examination, medical examination, or clinical examination, this may be able to determine the cause of your hair loss so that you can get an appropriate treatment. For example, if your hair loss was caused by a malfunctioning thyroid gland you would treat that rather than a scalp condition.

Confused

I M totally confused with the answer of using 10% min top oil for hair growth … I m using past few days it without consult the dr… but after read the answer i m confused that should i continue or stop it before any side effect…
Vijay
AskDocWeb: We consider the 10% Mintop oil for hair growth to be an experimental product because it has not been adequately studied in clinical trials to determine possible side effects. Because of this we would not use it.

Viswanaath
AskDocWeb: If you have used any product to treat hair loss and had no improvement after one year of use, the chances are that the product will never produce results. Maybe it is time to try something else. Have you had a complete medical examination, a check-up?

Yusra
AskDocWeb: A question that comes to mind when reading this is, “If you are not going to follow your doctor’s advice, why pay them for their professional opinion?” That’s your decision.
