is it normal for public hair to fall out when you're a young adult? only a few hairs a day and with no other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: We lose between 50-100 hairs a day and you can lose pubic hairs at your age. However if the pubic hair turns prematurely white or becomes noticeably too thin, a medical disorder is usually responsible such as thyroid disease. Generally in medical disease other body areas lose hair abnormally also. If you still have concerns consult a dermatologist for evaluation and advice&amp; any appropriate testing

Question 6

my 3 and a half month old son just started shedding quite a bit of hair. if i rub his head 5 or6 fall out. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, normal: In many newborns the hair is temporary. It is perfectly normal for an infant to lose hair. Some babies lose their entire head of newborn hair. Wash the hair gently with baby shampoo 2 times weekly. You need to leave the natural oils on the skin and scalp. Lanugo, the very fine, unpigmented hair found on some newborns and premies also  disappears prior to birth or shortly thereafter. Good luck.
