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

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. I suggest you to apply a topical minoxidil 5 %solution, 1ml, twice daily. In addition I suggest you to take an oral finasteride tab once a day for long. Both of these are approved remedies for androgenetic alopecia in males. However, biotin is not an approved remedy for hair loss.

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