Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

You surely seem to have Androgenetic alopecia.

Androgenetic alopecia is a condition in which there is genetically determined patterned hair loss, manifesting as thinning of hair from the crown and vertex of the scalp and receding hair line.

Minoxidil and finasteride are US FDA approved for androgenetic alopecia

While topical minoxidil, is a non-specific hair growth promoter, finasteride Or Saw palmetto extract, which inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase present in hair follicle outer root sheath, are specific to this kind of hair loss, targeting the underlying cause of hair thinning.

However, hair transplant is the most effective and most lasting mode of restoring scalp hair
