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.

Hi! Dandruff on the scalp is called seborrheic capitus and this can be a reason for your hair fall as well.  Shampoos and oral medication work best for this. And for dry lower legs we need to assess if its just dry skin or any other issue. Moisturiser on damn skin will absorb better and give better results. Would recommend online consultation for the two issues.
