Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same .
Now you seem to be suffering from hair loss. I would like to know more details about the type of hair loss that you have.
Do you have a generalised hair loss from whole of scalp or is it more from the front and the occipital region which is the typical male pattern of hair loss?
Do have similar hair loss in anyone else from your family too?
Since you have itching, I would like to know if there is associated dandruff also?
If possible, you can click some close up pictures of the head showing the extent of hair loss and upload them here on this page .
I am sure I will be able to help you more once you provide me the above details and the pictures .

Brief Answer:
Male pattern hair loss, take regular treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached pictures . You surely have male pattern hair loss . But the good thing is that since it is still in the early stages, so we can surely expect good response with proper treatment .
It is important for you to know that treatment of this condition requires a lot of patience since it takes time to see a noticable improvement .
You should start with application of hair 4 u 10 percent lotion one ml twice a day over the affected areas of the scalp .
In addition, you can use scalpe shampoo twice a week.
Take oral biotin 10 mg tablets once a day.
It might take atleast three months of regular treatment before we can expect regrowth of hair. So be patient and be regular in the treatment .
I am sure we can regain the lost hair or atleast stop any further progression of the problem .
