Brief Answer:
I suggest a possibility of andetgenetic alopecia

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I will keep a possibility of Androgenetic Alopecia.
Hair thinning and hair fall in males is usually hereditary in origin, known as Androgenetic Alopecia.
This type of hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is gradual.
It has a particular pattern to it; hair fall and thinning is most pronounced at the front and top of the scalp.
There may be widening and deepening at the angles of anterior hair line which becomes "V" shaped; this may also be associated with gradually progressive receding anterior hair line.
Usually there is a family history in father, siblings, cousins etc
Minoxidil and Finasteride are approved remedies for Androgenetic Alopecia. They arrest further progression of thinning and hair fall and even reverse early loss.
