You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.

You are on right treatment for hair fall, it starts showing results over time. May be 3-6 months sometimes. If nizral is not helping then you should intensify anti dandruff treatment first. Your dermatologist will help you with that.
Next Steps
Avoid hair oils. Wash your hair daily.
Health Tips
Do not scratch the affected areas . As you may worsen the problem.
