Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

You hair loss is most likely hereditary or patterned hair loss. This type of hair loss is characterised by hair loss and thinning from the frontal scalp, vertex.
Receding anterior hair line is also a part of this type of hair loss. The angles of the anterior hair line are widened gradually.
Usually there is a positive family history in family members or first degree relatives of the patient.
Treatment is with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride. Treatment is long term and is US FDA approved for patterned hair loss.
The goal of treatment is to slow down further progression of hair fall.
These are prescription drugs and therefore I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.
