I have the exact same problem. I went to a doctor, has been given a topical treatment but it does not really work after 2 months use! Smells bad. I deside to give it a one more month try maybe until I finishes the bottle and switch to Phyto that claims the best one in hair loss industry with no chemical and made of all natural products.
I am 59 and experiencing major hair loss mostly on the crown of my head. I am now using Nioxitin products but don't see any difference. Feel the complete hair growth system would be the way to go. Should use shanpoos that contain DHT Blocking ingredients, plus scalp treatment also with DHT blocking and nutrients benefits that ensure the growth.
