You are having a condition called androgenetic alopecia. It occurs due to the action of male hormones on your hair follicles. The treatment you have got from your doctor is right. Continue this treatment and be on regular follow up with your doctor. Changes can be made in your treatment as and when required. Dutasteride and finasteride are drugs of similar group. Finasteride is approved for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. They give good results. And in case you have any problems after taking drugs, talk to your doctor about it. There's no one treatment which can cure androgenetic alopecia, but treatment can be given to maintain hair growth on the scalp. You might need some or the other medication as long as you want hair on your scalp.

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.
