Hello,

I have gone through your query and you seem to be having androgenetic alopecia. I would recommend you to use a lotion containing minoxidil and fiasteride on the affected areas twice daily and take tablet finasteride 1 mg once daily.

This needs to be continued for 4-5 months to see significant results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
