Brief Answer: Male pattern hair loss Detailed Answer: Hi I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same . You seem to have developed male pattern hair loss . Since the frontal area is completely involved, it seems that you are already in stage two to three of the problem. I would like to tell two that medically we have very limited treatment options for this problem. Minoxidil is the most effective drug for this problem. You should start with application of ten percent Mintop lotion one ml twice a day over the scalp especially over the affected areas . You should avoid application of any hair oils since they will decrease the efficacy and absorption of the drug. It is good that you are already on high protein diet. In addition , you should take tablet biotin 10 mg daily once a day . You will have to continue this treatment for atleast three months continously before a noticable difference is seen. Hope it helps Please ask if you need any further clarifications Dr Geetika Paul
