Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcareMagic You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. In androgenetic alopecia, initially there is hair loss and thinning from angles of the anterior hair line so that the angles become wider and deeper (thus giving rise to a V shaped anterior hair line). Hair loss in Androgentic alopecia mainly involves frontal and crown part of the scalp and is also associated with gradual recession of the anterior hair line. Family history of balding is positive in most affected. Minoxidil and finasteride have US FDA approval for use in this type of alopecia. While Minoxidil is a non-specific hair growth promoter, oral Finasteride is specific for androgenetic alopecia in males. Finasteride inhibits the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in hair follicles. DHT is the main culprit in this type of hair loss. Results are usually noticeable over a period of 6-12 months of regular minoxidil use and oral treatment. The results are maximal at 1-2 years of combined treatment (Oral + topical) and then may be maintained with just Oral treatment. Moreover, the goal with this therapy is to arrest or slow down further progression. New hair regrowth is an added advantage but response varies from individual to individual. Therefore the aim is to start treatment as early as possible and to maintain the improvement with life long treatment. A biotin supplement once daily would also be useful. Biotin supports hair growth though it is not specific for androgentic alopecia. These are all prescription medications and therefore I suggest you to visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful. Regards
