Brief Answer:
Androgenetic alopecia is most likely possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
As per details, it seems that you are having a type of hair loss known as Androgenetic alopecia. It is characterised by receeding of hailine mainly from.both temporal areas and later crown too. It is due to male hormone known as Dihydrotestosterone.
In such cases, I prefer to advise topical minoxidil 5 percent lotion to my patients. It is applied over the affected area twice daily 1ml each time on dry scalp. Also oral medications containing Biotin, Calcium pantothenate, selenium as main componentlike Follihair Is also advised. It usually takes 3 - 4 months to show any positive effect. These are prescription drugs so you should visit your doctor so that he can examine you and give you prescription. You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps. Take care.
