Hairloss

by hairlossproblems, Apr 15, 2009 10:04PM
Hi,
i am a 17 year old male.
I have been losing hair for a few years now. It's almost to a point where people can notice it and it's only on the top of my head, not on the sides or back.
My hair-line is receding and i can't take it anymore. Please help with any comments or suggestions you might have.
i don't want to go bald in my 20's considering that i am only 17 right now.

Hi,

There are a number of things that can cause hair loss: stress, hormonal problems, certain medications, infection, and underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes.  Male-pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Men who have this type of hair loss usually have inherited the trait.  The hair loss typically results in a receding hair line and baldness on the top of the head. Have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management.  Direct clinical examination is important for proper diagnosis.

Take care and keep us posted.
