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

I am sorry to disappoint you but the treatment for hair loss is an expensive one and the doctors are often blamed for prescribing expensive treatment . But unfortunately there are very limited options to effectively addressed headphones and the treatment cost cannot be helped about. Minoxidil 2% and 10% have different efficacy as well as indication.... and 2% is not supposed to be used by men. 2% minoxidil is only approved for use in females.c I don't wish to sound arrogant but I feel it is wrong of a pharmacist to suggest you treatment in contrast to what has been prescribed to you by a qualified certify dermatologist who spent three decades to gain his skills and knowledge. Hope this is helpful.
