Hi Dr Remy, Thanks for taking my concern! See my answers below.
>The most visible area is anterior hairline itself but when I make a normal stroke over
my head I get much hair in my hand.
>I'm experiencing the fall from the past 4 months.
>There's not much stress other than my career aspects and had not been under any
surgery and not experienced any weight loss.
>My brother 10 years older to me also got his hairline receded quite significantly in the
past few years but my father has got normal hair.

Hi again,
Thanks for writing back,
I have gone through your details, and looks like you have symptoms pertaining to male pattern baldness.
I would suggest you to do the following:
- You can try using Minoxidil 5% scalp lotion, to be applied only over the affected area daily.
- You may also consider taking an androanagen tablet, which contains biotin.
- Also, your dermatologist may prescribe you with finasteride for short course duration. This will also help in prompt regrowth of the hair and also prevents hair fall.
- Use anti- dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole, to treat any fungal causes.
I hope this helps,
Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close the query with your positive feedback,
