I started loosing hair a year back. The problem was not severe at that time and according to prescription I am having daily one tablet(minoxidil) and applying minoxidil 5% solution too. It started showing good results after few months. But now again my hair aren't growing back and the condition now is that I can see my scalp now. I am very depressed and worried. Please let me know what to do. I need help. My age is 27. Please have a look at photos attached.
Thanks.

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.
