Hello

Welcome to health care magic.

From your history and description, it seems to me that you may be having male pattern baldness. Topical minoxidil 5 % solution and Finasteride tablets are US FDA approved treatments for this problem. You need to use minoxidil for atleast 2-3 months for you to notice good results. You then need to use it as a maintenance as male pattern baldness is genetically determined and once you stop the medication, you will start to gradually grow bald again. You can also continue trichoton forte tablet for 2-3 months as it will strengthen the hair roots.

Adjuvant treatments include microneedling and laser comb treatments.

Follow up with your dermatologist regularly.

Hope this helps you.
