Hey doc, im 18 years old and im getting bald, if there is something i can do thanks?

18 ; balding: Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence, especially in families with a history of balding. I would get a good general check-up and ask the doc for some lab work to check thyroid, blood chemistries, etc. If these are all normal, this condition is your destiny. If you have lots of money to blow, plastic surgeons or some dermatologists could do some hair transplant techniques.
