Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You seem to have Androgenetic alopecia. It is characterised by thinning and hair loss from the front, mid and vertex part of the scalp, initially manifesting as widened part width in females and later as diffuse thinning in a honeycomb pattern. I suggest you to use Minoxidil 5% solution, 1ml, twice daily. In addition insughest you to take an oral biotin and an oral antiandrogen e.g finasteride. Topical minoxidil and oral finasteride are approved medications for Androgenetic alopecia. Treatment is long term and goal is to prevent further loss.

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