Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
You seem to be suffering from Androgenetic alopecia; Hair thinning and
hair fall in males is usually hereditary in origin, known as Androgenetic Alopecia.
This type of hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is gradual.
It has a particular pattern to it; hair fall and thinning is most pronounced at the front and top of the
scalp. This may also be associated with gradually progressive recession of anterior hair line.
Usually there is a family history in father, siblings, cousins etc
Minoxidil and
Finasteride are approved remedies for Androgenetic Alopecia. They arrest further progression of thinning and hair fall and even reverse early loss
Minoxidil is absolutely safe; it may cause a
dull headache if used in more than the recommended amount because it is a vasodilator. The normal recommended amount to use is 1 ml.
Finasteride may cause sexual side effects like decreased libido in 1-2% of patients, however, this is a temporary side effects and subsides with continued treatment.
