You may be 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 refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting..

Ur having a condition called Seborrhoeic Dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis may go away without treatment. Or you may need many repeated treatments before the symptoms go away. And they may return later. Daily cleansing with a medicated soap and medicated shampoo can help reduce oiliness. Common symptoms are skin flakes (dandruff) on your scalp, hair, eyebrows, beard or moustache.
Patches of greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales or crust on the scalp dead skin buildup
All these factors can also lead to hair loss. unless the dandruff is treated Biotin supplementation wont have much of a effect. Consult a Dermatologist to prevent further progression.
