Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lead pencil is not he reason for you'd hair fall. You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. Though it is genetic but it affects individuals variably. Some more and others less and some early a D others later. I suggest you to apply a topical minoxidil 5 %solution, 1ml, twice daily. In addition I suggest you to take an oral finasteride 1mg tab once a day for long. Both of these are approved remedies for androgenetic alopecia in males.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
