Brief Answer:
Minoxidil and androanagen
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photographs.
It is androgenic alopecia caused due to excessive response of hair to testosterone.
I treat such cases with minoxidil and an anti androgen tablet ( saw palmetto ).
It gives good response in three months and is safe.
You can try this combination.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you.
