I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  I suggest you to take a few lab tests like thyroid function test, serum ferritin levels and complete blood count. I suggest you to apply minoxidil 5% solution, 1ml, twice daily. In addition I suggest you to take an oral biotin supplement. Response is slow and it may take 3-6 months for a noticeable improvement.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
