Yes..it's MPB..You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send more photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

1. Baldness can happen to you if you have androgenetic alopecia (AGA), regardless of family history. AGA in mother’s side (dad & brothers) can lead to baldness in you if you have AGA as well.
2. It’s normal to lose 100 hairs / day. If dandruff is present, you can use Ketoconazole + ZPO shampoo.
3. No problem.
4. Picture not clear.
