Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. In this condition there is thinning and hair loss from the front, mid and vertex part of the scalp which manifests as receding anterior hair line and a broad forehead.
Minoxidil solution and oral finasteride are US FDA approved medications for androgenetic alopecia in males. Minoxidil is a non specific hair growth promoter whereas finasteride is an antiandrogen which prevents or reverses miniaturization/ thinning of hair follicles.
Treatment is long term and the goal of treatment is to arrest further progression and regrow new hairs to an extent.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
