Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain male baldness is commonly due to Androgenic Aloepaecia that is due to hormonal causes as well as genetic origin.
While other causes can be long standing illness, malnourishment,stress, side effects of drugs and hair cosmetics etc..
In case if it is in the form of patches of hairloss and thinning of hairs it can be commonly due to Androgenic Aloepaecia..
I would suggest you to take Biotin supplements as it is found helpful in hairgrowth but it is true that you need a combination of complex vitamins and micronutrients so you should take multivitamins along with biotin..
You should also apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can also consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like Trichogram and dermoscopy along with blood tests to check for hormones..
You a drug known as Finesteride for reducing hair growth..
Maintaining clean scalp and massage with warm coconut oil..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
