Brief Answer:
Options for hair loss, thinning and baldness in males

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
In males, Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss and baldness. It is characterized by gradual decline in hair density from the front, mid and vertex part of the scalp along with receding anterior hair line ("M" shaped anterior hair line).
Depending on the severity/ grade of alopecia various options are advisable. While early stage hair loss and thinning can be managed by medications like topical Minoxidil 5% solution, oral Finasteride and PRP therapy (platelet rich plasma therapy), Hair transplant is the only reliable and recommendable option for advanced hair loss and baldness.

Brief Answer:
Oral and topical medicine for hair loss

Detailed Answer:
Hi Shabeer. I have viewed the Images.

You seem to have moderately severe hair loss i.e grade 3 or 4 on Norwood Scale.

I suggest you to start using minoxidil 5% solution (Mintop forte), 1ml, twice daily. In addition I also suggest you to take a tablet of Finasteride (Finax 1mg), once daily.
