Thinning Of Hair On Top Of Head, Negligible Hair Fall. What Should I Do?
Hello XXXXXXX
It seems you are experiencing thinning of hair and decreased density. It is usually due to androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). If you are suffering from this disease, you need to apply Minoxidil 5% solution 1ml twice a day along with oral Tablet Finasteride. Finasteride is a prescription drug and should be taken in consultation with your dermatologist. However, it will be best if you provide your age and a clinical photograph of the scalp for correct assessment and diagnosis.
