Hi,
I have gone through your complaints and you seem to be having male pattern baldness.
I would recommend you to apply minoxidil 5 per cent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily and take hair supplements like tablet follihair A once daily for 3-4 months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
