Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of male pattern baldness which is also known as androgenic alopecia which occurs mainly due to genetic makeup and male sex hormones. Need not to worry. You should start with the use of Finasteride combinations as it interferes with the production of male hormone which are related to cause baldness. You should apply Mintop 10% directly to the scalp to help hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start medication after proper prescription. You should take multivitamins containing biotin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
