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.

How long since you have hair fall?
Does it affect the whole of scalp Or only the central portion of scalp (i.e front, mid and vertex) of scalp? Has your anterior hair line receded?
Is there a family history of hair fall or early balding in father?brother?uncles etc?
Can you upload a few images of the affected area?
Is there any preceding stressful event like medical illness, surgery or weight loss?

Brief Answer:
use minoxidil solution and oral finasteride

Detailed Answer:
hi

going by the distribution of hair loss you seem to have androgenetic alopecia. I suggest you to use Minoxidil 5% solution(Mintop forte), 1ml, twice daily on scalp skin. In addition you may take a tablet of Finasteride 1mg(Finax), once daily. Use these together for 6 months on affected area and you would notice improvement.

Regards
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
