Brief Answer:
Topical Minoxidil and Oral Biotin Supplement
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
You seem to have female pattern androgenetic alopecia.
It is characterized by hair thinning, increased hair shedding & decreased volume of hair mainly from the center of scalp i.e front, mid and vertex.
Course is gradually progressive over the years.
Minoxidil 2% solution, 1 ml, twice daily, at scalp skin & Oral Biotin supplement, once daily would help in preventing further hair loss.
