Hair examination will include: - Pattern of hair loss (Ludwig, Olsen or Norwood) - Pull test - Scalp skin condition - Grading according to Sinclair scale 3. Evaluating tools: - Gross photos will be taken under adequate illumination, identical settings, lighting, and position before starting treatment and at monthly follow up visits. - Trichoscopic examination: All cases will be viewed trichoscopically from frontal, temporal, and occipital views (before treatment and at follow up visits) and will be evaluated by two blinded investigators. Establishing the diagnosis of FPHL will be done according to diagnostic criteria of FPHL. Hair density, hair diameter and peripilar sign will be recorded before and after treatment. - Subject assessment: A 7-point scale will be used Investigations:- - Serum vit.D will be measured for all participants • Other investigations will be done if needed according to primary patient evaluation: CBC, serum ferritin, serum calcium level, serum creatinine, hormonal (TSH, FSH, LH, prolactin, testosterone). Therapeutic interventions:- 45 patients diagnosed as FPHL with decreased serum vitamin D will be randomly divided into 3 treatment groups: - Group 1 (15 patients) will apply topical 5% minoxidil solution in a dose of 1ml twice daily. - Group 2 (15 patients) will apply topical vit. D analogue (calcipotriol ointment 0.005%) twice daily (1 fingertip unit for every 2% of body surface area) - Group 3 (15 patients) ( placebo group). - Any side effects will be registered such as itching, scalling, burning sensation, dryness…. - Duration of treatment will continue for 3 months ;
