Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM You seem to be suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia. Thinning and receding hair line in males is classical of Male pattern Androgenetic Alopecia (MAGA) also simply known as Androgenetic alopecia. Scalp hairs are genetically programmed for progressive thinning under the influence of hormones (Testosterone). Hair loss has a pattern to it in these kinds of hair loss e.g Teens usually have some Temporal recession which is then followed by deepening of Temporal recession (the earliest stage of Male Hair Loss) leading further to early hair loss in the crown (vertex) and later to further frontal hair loss and enlargement of vertex and so on... Treatment modalities include Topical Minoxodil 5% solution and oral finasteride(5 alpha reductase inhibitor). Their are well controlled trials and US FDA approval for them for this kind of hair loss in males. Saw-palmetto extract is also recommended for this kind of hair loss(it is also 5 alpha reductase inhibitor). I would advice that you consult a dermatologist and have a face to face discussion keeping all these points in mind. I am here to help you out with any further clarifications Hope this information helps you take care regards
