Brief Answer:
Take minoxidil and finasteride, consider going for prp therapy

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have reviewed the attached photographs and you are having male pattern baldness.
Minoxidil is a good drug for male pattern baldness but you are having severe grade of baldness.
You should take oral medicines along with minoxidil like tablet finasteride 1 mg once daily.
For best results minoxidil and finasteride should be taken together for atleast 1 year.
You can also consider going for platelet rich plasma therapy (prp). Multiple sitting will be required at monthly intervals.

Brief Answer:
Can develop sexual dysfunction rarely

Detailed Answer:
It has been seen that 0.1 percent to 0.3 percent of patients taking finasteride can develop sexual dysfunction like loss of libido or erectile dysfunction but it is reversible after treatment and even reversible in some patients on continued treatment.
