Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection , age factor and hormonal changes . I your case it seems to me that the age factory is probably the reason for hair fall . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique .
