Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic Although hair loss can be due to multiple causes, however, Androgenetic alopecia, is the commonest cause of hair loss and decreased hair density in males. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for a confirmatory diagnosis. Androgenetic alopecia can start at any age after puberty and most individuals notice a gradually progressive decline in hair density in 3rd decade of life when it starts to concern them. Hair thinning in Androgenetic alopecia commonly affects the frontal scalp and crown of the scalp and is also associated with gradual recession of anterior hair line resulting in a broad forehead. There is also widening of the angles of the anterior hair line, just above the temples as a result of hair thinning. The tendency to androgenetic alopecia is inherited and usually, but not always there is a history of progressive balding in male family members. The goal of treatment is to arrest the progression of androgenetic alopecia. Minoxidil and oral finasteride are FDA approved for androgenetic alopecia. These are prescription drugs and I would suggest that you seek an appointment with a dermatologist in your region. There are practically no side effects with topical minoxidil use. The response to treatment varies from individual to individual and it is usually advisable to give a fair trial of 3-6 months before deciding on whether treatment is going to be effective or not. It is advisable to start therapy as soon as possible so as to arrest further progression. Regards
