Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have hair loss over front of your scalp so its mostly androgenic alopecia.
Androgenic alopecia is a normal physiological process resulting in alopecia (hairloss). Androgens are male sex hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, which acts on frontal hairs of scalp and causes them to fall. To prevent this you should use 5% minoxidil lotion and anti androgen pills like Finasteride. Just remember that there is no permanent treatment for hair loss. You will see decrease in hair loss and hair regrowth within 3 to 6 months of continuous treatment but once you stop treatment, then you will again start losing hairs.
Most importantly take no stress, eat balanced diet, have good sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
