Hi, welcome to HCM,
I have gone through your query and understood it well.
You are suffering from androgenetic alopecia. It has both high androgen level and some genetic component.
It is a progressive type of alopecia and requires aggressive treatment to stop hair fall. It takes 6-8 month to stop and regrow hair.
Minoxidil is the treatment of choice. Oral finasteride, biotin supplements and volumizing shampoo is used.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks
