Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. Hair thinning and hair loss and features of androgenetic alopecia. There is a genetic predisposition. I suggest you to apply minoxidil 5% solution, 1ml, twice daily. In addition I suggest you to take finasteride 1mg tablet once daily. For premature greying of hair you may take oral calcium pantothenate 200mg once a day for at least 4-6 months. All of these are prescription medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
