[|Human|] I am 19 years old. I have been using Tugain 5% solution for the past 2 months and i have lost a lot of hair during the period. I have lesser hair than when i started using the Tugain solution. The front part of my scalp is losing hair and im beginning to get a bald spot. Is this normal for a Tugain user? Should i continue using Tugain? Please Reply
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Minoxidil is the FDA approved treatment of male pattern baldness. In many patients initially after starting minoxidil use there is an increased hair fall, we call that phenomenon "managed induction". It usually settles down after 2-3 months, and then you will get improvement. This hair loss is a good sign as increased fall is due to a lot of new hair formation which pushes the resting halogen hairs out. Please continue Tu gain. Make sure that you are applying it on the scalp and not hair and use only 1 ml twice daily, not more than that. Hope this helped, Take care.
