Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic. I understand from your query that you are having dandruff as well as receding hairline. This is called as male pattern hair loss. Dandruff could worsen your male pattern hair fall. Seborrhoeic dermatitis or dandruff is a chronic condition, but very much controllable. It is caused by an yeast called malasezzia. This yeast is a normal resident of human body and once its colony increases you mount reaction against it causing dandruff. This yeast loves oil and therefore it is seen more in oily skinned. That is where hormones work. Androgens increase the production of oil from our sebaceous glands. So the aim of any treatment is to bring down the colony of malasezzia. Anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole and ZPTO can be used 3 days a week for a month and maintain it atleast once a week to prevent yeast from multiplying. A course of oral antifungals like ketoconazole will help but you need a prescription for it. Avoid applying oil on the scalp. As far as your hair loss is concerned, there are US FDA approved treatments for it like topical minoxidil 5 % solution and Finasteride tablets. These help in arresting your hair loss and also helps in hair regrowth. Remember that dermatologist is a true trichologist. You could consult a qualified dermatologist and discuss the above treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care.
