Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems that you have Androgenetic Alopecia along with Seborrheic dermatitis. If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use an antidandruff lotion (2% ketoconazole shampoo) thrice weekly for 2-3 weeks.
Regarding Androgenetic Alopecia you need to use Minoxidil 5% twice daily along with intake of Finasteride and a biotin supplement(Novophane is a biotin supplement) once daily.
Treatment is long term and the goal would be to stop further progress of receding hair line and if any new hair that grows/recovers that will be complementary
take care
regards
