HI,

I can understand your concern for the less hair on scalp region with hair fall and hairloss in patches.

After reading your query it can be "Alopecia areata' or part of male pattern baldness called as androgenic alopecia also. The scalp hair are basically genetically mediated so it depends on family pattern.You can take vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes.

In case of alopecia areata oral steroid may be required and therefore need to take it under dermatological guidance only.

Additionally increase you protein intake on daily basis and eat sprouts. Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and sprouts which contains vitamins and minerals necessary for normal hair function.

Minoxidil is helpful but should always be applied under dermatological supervision other wise can cause irritation on the scalp.You should consult a dermatologist and take guidance so that long term use can be maintained.

Take care.
