Hi,

Welcome to HCM...

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. It is also called male pattern baldness. The disease is testosterone influenced inherited disease. There may be history of similar disease in your father or members of maternal or paternal side.

Diabetes does not influence hairloss,but let it be controlled.
And masturbation does not affect hair. However, it may be done in limit.
You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.

Still, I would like to give you few suggestions regarding management of your disease as follow..

- take finesteride 1 mg tab daily in morning as you are taking
- take biotin 10 mg daily at night
- take vitamin E cap 400 mg
- apply minoxidil 10% solution twice a day
- cleanse the scalp with ketoconazole shampoo
- continue treatment for few months to few years
- have patience for the good result

I hope this would help you in managing your disease.

Thanks.

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
