Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

It seems that you may be having androgenetic alopecia grade 1 with mild seborrheic dermatitis. First your dandruff should be cleared. Wash the scalp with ketoconazole containing shampoo like scalp shampoo daily at bath. Keep the hair short. After clearance of dandruff, start applying minoxidil 10% solution like mintop forte twice a day on dry scalp till you get good result. You may take finesteride 1 mg daily. You also take biotin containing tab like biot forte. Avoid stress and worries. Improve health by good diet,excercise and positive attitude. You may have satisfactory result. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
