Hair Loss and crown area baldness
Hello , My age is 21 . I am having hair Loss on my crown area of the scalp.
My father doesn't have any hairloss issues.
Nor my maternal side.
When I comb or massage on the scalp i could notice the hair falling . I can easily notice myself balding from the top area of my head. I've attached a photo here. Please consult. I've heard about the minoxidil and biotin gums. Are they helpful? Suggest something for the hairgrowth?
