Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
You seem to have Androgenetic Alopecia. I don't think shaving has a role to play in inducing it. It has just unmasked it. In this type of hair loss, there is hair thinning (miniaturization) and gradual reduction in density of hair from the top of the scalp. There is also similar involvement of angles of the anterior hair line, which become wider and deeper, giving a "V" shaped appearance to the anterior hair line. Minoxidil and Finasteride are approved remedies for this type of hair loss. Treatment is long term and the earlier it is started the better it is because it is easier to stall further progression of hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia than to regrow new hair. These are prescription medications, I suggest you to talk to your dermatologist for the needful. Concomitant dandruff also needs to be managed effectively. I will also suggest you to use a ketocoanzole based shampoo for dandruff. Nizoral is Ketoconazole based antidandruff shampoo and is available OTC.
