Suggest Treatment For Receding Hairline And Hair Fall

Brief Answer:
Androgenetic alopecia

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are having a receding hair line.

From your history and description, I would consider the possibility of early Androgenetic alopecia. This is a type of hair fall which is seen as a hereditary pattern and runs in families.

Nowadays, due to the effect of stress and other lifestyle factors, men are balding at an early age.

There are US FDA approved treatments for it like topical minoxidil 5 % solution and Finasteride tablets.

You could start using 5 % Minoxidil solution 1 ml twice a day on the scalp mainly on the front, sides and vertex. Finasteride tablets have to be prescribed by your dermatologist.

You should continue the treatment on a long term basis as hair recession can recur once the medications are stopped as this is a genetically mediated condition.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Johny Chacko

Brief Answer:
Could be alopecia aereata

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome back.

Vitamin D deficiency is not associated with hair loss.

Sudden loss of a patch of hair on one side could indicate a condition called as "Alopecia areata".

Androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata are two totally different conditions with different prognosis.
