I'm really worried because I'm losing hair more on the right side of my head, especially around the temples, and my hairline is receding. The hair is super thin and comes out several times a day. I notice tiny hairs growing in the same area but they just won't get longer. My scalp gets itchy sometimes but there's no dandruff. Is there any chance I can recover some of my frontal hairline?

Losing hair on one side more than the other with thinning and hair fall can be a sign of male pattern baldness. To help with hair regrowth and prevent further hair loss, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, taking finasteride 1mg daily can also help in promoting hair regrowth and preventing hair loss. It is important to use these medications consistently for several months to see results. In some cases, a dermatologist may recommend steroid injections or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy to stimulate hair growth. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
