I had a talk with one of the doctors and they said that it could be a case of pattern baldness. I just wanted to know, what can one do to preventdelay it from our side, and what are the do's and don'ts in such a case. I have attached a picture where we can see the scalp.

To prevent or delay further hair loss, you can consider using minoxidil solution, which is available over the counter. Minoxidil is known to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Another option is finasteride, a prescription medication that can help in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, as deficiencies can contribute to hair loss. Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, and harsh chemical treatments, as these can damage the hair and worsen the condition. Additionally, managing stress levels and getting adequate sleep can also support hair health. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations and guidance tailored to your specific needs.
