I'm really concerned about this baldness issue I'm experiencing. The front of my head has lost a lot of hair, and it looks quite bald now. A few months ago, I only noticed it when I applied oil, but now it's visible all the time, and my hair's gotten thinner. Can you recommend a permanent solution for this? Also, is there a difference between hair transplantation and PRP therapy, or are they the same? Which one would be the best and safest option? I could really use some guidance here since I'm quite worried about losing more hair.

My doctor suggested taking biotin 5 mg for a month, but it hasn't helped. Could there be something else causing this or any other suggestions you might have?
