Hair loss and thinning
I live in Bangalore and I’ve been noticing significant hair thinning around my hairline and temples, especially on the sides (photo attached). My scalp in that area is more visible now. I have oily scalp and hair. Could you please suggest what might be causing this and any safe treatment options I can consider? I also have sensitive skin that reacts to harsh products.
