Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

You seem to suffer from androgenetic alopecia, which is genetically determined patterned hair loss, characterized by thinning and recession of fronto-temporal hair line. Minoxidil in 5% strength is approved for this kind of hair loss in males.

I would advice that you see a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as a prescription for minoxidil. Along with minoxidil, your dermatologist might also feel the need to put you on oral antiandrogen like finasteride, which is also approved for this kind of hair loss.
