i was seeing hair loss on the top of the my head. I have consulted dermatologist and he suspected that it could be male pattern baldness. And he suggested to use minoxidil 5% only on the top of head once a day. I was doubtful whether to start this or not. Because once we start i have to use it for rest of life.

Since the hair loss is not very severe, i was so hesistant to use. But i started using for two days and decided to stop it. It has been three days since i stopped it. I think i feel i lost some hair on the top.

Will there be any side effect since i used for 2 days? will i lose hairs from the spot? Please help me. i feel really stressed out.

no, when a hair shed is triggered it takes weeks to actually fall out, not TWO DAYS. It has to go through the catagen phase before it falls out. If you are in early stages I really think you should be using finasteride, not minoxidil
