Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history and description, you seem to be having male pattern hair loss which is a hereditary type of hair fall.
5% Minoxidil is US -FDA approved treatment for use in male pattern hair fall. However, please use it under the guidance of a dermatologist who can assess the grade of your hair fall and also follow the response to treatment.
You may also benefit from oral finasteride tablets and this again has to be prescribed by a dermatologist.
Any type of oil can be used, but avoid head massage.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
