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 FDA approved 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.

Hello Either it can be seborrheic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis. You need to share photographs as well as history of past treatment if taken. There are medication available for control but a detailed consultation is a better option. After the condition gets under control, you can always go for hair restoration treatments for hair growth and hair fall control
