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 most likely to be suffering from androgenic alopecia usually associated with dandruff and continue to progress to balding when left untreated.
there are treatment regime available for both hair fall and dandruff. you would have to under go a 2-4 week antifungal course and start treating for androgenic alopecia. there is possibilities to hake the hair thicker and to regrow some of the lost hair.
Health Tips
hair fall treatments respond over period of time. there is no instant relief. so perseverance is the key. continue the treatment.
