Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history, I understand that you have male pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia.
You could benefit from 5 % minoxidil lotion, 1 ml applied twice a day on the scalp.
You may also need 1 mg Finasteride tablet once a day depending on the grading of your hair loss.
You could continue oral biotin tablets.
You must remember that hair loss may restart after stopping minoxidil as it is a genetically programmed hair loss. Hence it is important to continue as long as you want the hair fall under control.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
