Hello dear,

Male pattern baldness (Alopecia areata) usually follows a pattern of receding hairline & is related to genetic makeup and male sex hormones.
Management involves intake of Finasteride preparations (like Finax) which interferes with the production of male hormone linked to baldness.

In addition, you can also use:
1. Minoxidil preparations (like Mintop 10%) applied directly to the scalp helps in hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles.
2. Multivitamin supplements containing Biotin.
These medications have to be used regularly under the guidance of a Dermatologist.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
