Brief Answer:
Male pattern hair loss

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same .
I have seen the attached pictures . You seem to be developing male pattern hair loss .
The good thing is that the hair loss is in very early stage right now and can be managed with proper treatment .
You might need to take the treatment regularly for few months .
You should start application of minoxidil 10 percent lotion one ml twice a day over the affected areas .
In addition you can take tablet biotin once a day along with tablet finasteride .
You might have to continue this treatment for atleast three months continously before you can see a noticable difference .
Since you are still in stage one of the problem , so it is important that you take regular treatment .

Hope it helps

Please ask if you need any further clarifications

Application of medicine

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You basically have male pattern hair loss. This type of hair loss is seen in men. It has various causes ranging from familial to hormonal or genetic or even idiopathic . It is really difficult to point out the exact reason in a person although the treatment remains the same, irrespective of the cause .
Zink plus is basically a health supplement. You can take it for general well being but I don't think it will be of any great help in the hair issue specifically .
You can buy the minoxidil that you are getting but make sure that it is ten percent atleast in concentration .
You should apply one ml twice a day over the affected areas of the scalp. You should rub it over the scalp .
Also you should avoid using hair oil since it reduces the penetration of the medicine .
You can wash your hair twice a week with any shampoo.

Brief Answer:
Application of the medicine

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Since you have already bought a five percent lotion, you can continue to the it . A ten percent solution is obviously more effective and you can buy it next time.
Finasteride has largely been found to be a very safe drug and it should be take for atleast a year regularly to get its maximum advantage . In clinical practice , we rarely encounter any major side effects . Even if there are any, they are reversible in nature.
Yes you can wash your hair on alternate days . It is infact good and will help in better cleansing and thereafter penetration of the medicine .
