Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
You seem to have androgenetic alopecia, which is genetically predisposed patterned hair loss.
This type of hair fall can start any time after puberty and by the age of 30 almost 30% of males suffer from androgenetic alopecia.
Hair loss and thinning in androgenetic alopecia is mainly from the frontal and vertex part of the scalp.
There is also gradual receding anterior hair line as well as widening and deepening of angles of anterior hair line.
Topical minoxidil and oral finasteride are approved medicines for this type of hair loss.
The goal of treatment is to arrest or slow down further progression therefore treatment should be started early for maximal benefits.
These are prescription medications therefore i suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.
Regards
