Why is my hair thinning and i'm just 20 years old? i need some advice.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get seen: All normal men lose the hair on their temples around age 20. If you're having additional hair loss, you may have telogen effluvium (usually self-cures), hypothyroidism (potentially lethal), alopecia areata (I have a college with this who loves it; it's not really treatable), bad seborrhea / other infection, or something else. You do need a physician office visit. Best wishes.
