Question

I have a hereditary hair thinning problem where the spacing between my hair has increased and I've lost hair from my forehead. Can this be fixed with medicine or will I need surgery?

Hereditary hair thinning, including a receding hairline and increased spacing between hairs, can be addressed with both medications and, in some cases, surgery. Medications like minoxidil and finasteride can help slow down hair loss and may stimulate regrowth, while hair transplantation offers a more permanent solution by moving hair follicles from resistant areas to the thinning scalp.
