Brief Answer:
Minoxidil 5 percent twice daily would help in hair regrowth

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I understand your concern.
As per details, it seems that you are having a type of alopecia known as Androgenetic alopecia or Male pattern Baldness.
It is characterised by temperoparietal recession of hair line and thinning of hair.
It has genetic predisposition also. It is basically due to Dihydrotestosterone which is a male hormone.
In such cases, I prefer to advise topical Minoxidil 5 percent to be applied twice daily over dry scalp. A total amount of 1 ml is applied in the morning and 1 ml in night time daily.
Alongwith you should take tablet containing Bioti , Calcium pantothenate and Selenium as main component for atleast 3 months.
Visit your doctor so that he can examine you and give you prescription.
You can share my opinion with him.
I hope it helps.
Take care.
