Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
You are having hair loss mainly from the front. This is a patterned hair fall seen in Male pattern baldness. There are US FDA approved treatments for it like topical minoxidil 5 % solution and Finasteride tablets.Get these approved medicines prescribed by dermatologist.
One thing you should realize is that male pattern baldness is in the genes. Whatever treatment you will be on will halt the process. Once treatment is stopped genes will take over. So we need to maintain the treatment on a long term. Any treatment for hair will take 3 months to show any benefit. So please have some patience.
Hope this helped
Take care
