What kind of doctor do you see for hair loss treatments?

My husband’s hair is thinning a bit on top. He’s 32, and his father was already half bald by his age, so although he’s held onto his hair quite a bit longer it’s a genetic inevitability he will eventually lose it. We’re just hoping to slow down the process, and maybe see some regrowth in the thinning area. What kind of doctor does he need to see to address this issue?
Side note: He’s seeing a dermatologist soon for his seborrheic dermatitis, should he bring up the hair thinning thing with her? He’s seeing a medical dermatologist, not a cosmetic dermatologist if that makes a difference.

I am 76, and I take medication for my Prostate that removes any sex- drive from my body. The medicine is named Finasteride(generic)and is the ingredient in the popular hair-growth, OTC- foam, but the potency is stronger. I began growing some new hair two years ago after using Finasteride. Some guys have used Minoxidil(spelling)and Finasteride together with fair results. Most guys choose not to use Finasteride because of loss sex-drive. Sebum is the oily substance on men’s forehead and scalp that clogs the hair follicles and reduce hair growth.
