Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history and description, I would consider the possibilities of male pattern hair loss and chronic telogen effluvium.
Male pattern hair loss is seen as a hereditary trait and it starts in the early 20's. There is reduction in the density of hairs especially in the sides and the center.
You will benefit from using 5% Minoxidil solution, 1 ml being applied twice a day on the scalp. You may also benefit from oral Finasteride tablets, which can be prescribed by a dermatologist after the assessment of the severity and grading of your hair fall.
Telogen effluvium is sudden shedding of large amounts of hair, seen about 3-6 months after an illness like fever, surgery, crash dieting or sudden weight loss. The hairs will fall from all over your scalp and it can become chronic.
You will benefit from taking oral supplements containing biotin, cysteine and methionine for 3 months.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
