I'm 25 and I've been noticing I'm losing hair around my forehead, and my hair is getting thinner every day. It used to be really thick all over my head. I'm pretty worried about this. Could you suggest what I can do to help with this problem?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of your scalp. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help with hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down hair loss and promote hair growth. It is important to use them consistently for at least several months to see results.
