Detailed Answer:
Hello. thank you.

I am Dr. kakkar(Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.

Hair loss in males is commonly due to Androgenetic alopecia which is characterized by thinning and hair loss
in a pattern - mainly from the front, mid and vertex of the scalp.
Anterior hair line starts receding gradually appearing like an M-shaped anterior hair lne.
There is underlying genetic predisposition and a positive family history is often elicited in other members like father, brother, uncle, cousins etc.
Minoxidil 5% solution and Finasteride 1mg tablet are approved treatments for Androgenetic Alopecia in males.The goal of treatment is to arrest further progression therefore treatment may be started as soon as possible. Minoxidil and finasteride are prescription medications and require follow up. Moreover treatment is long term therefore I suggest you to kindly consult a dermatologist in your region for the needful.

Regards
