Hi,
You seem to suffer from androgenetic alopecia... also called male pattern baldness. Your doctor has given proper medicines. They are finasteride, biotin and minoxidil. All these are very effective and harmless. And they may be used for long time. The result may be there after few years continuous treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
