Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. It is a hereditary condition influenced by hormone..testosterone. Initially, there is recession on the forehead. Then, the hair fall continue to bald the occipital area. I think you have baldness on frontal area extending to backward. If you have sparse hairs on the bald area,then medical treatment might give good result.

You may take finesteride 1 mg daily till good result. And biotin 10 mg twice a day along with vitamin E 400 mg once a day may be taken. Minoxidil 10% solution may be applied on the bald area twice a day. Ketoconazole containing shampoo may be used to cleanse the scalp. Have patience for the result. You should take treatment under observation of dermatologist.

If the affected area is complete bald, then hair transplantation may be considered. Cost varies from doctor to doctor and according to the affected area.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
