A member asked:
My hair is falling out is it because of my weight loss i'm only 18. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair loss at 18: Very unusual. Please start with a clinic visit to a primary doctor. You will be carefully examined, and lab work will be done. Once those lab data are available your doctor will decide what needs to be done next - most likely with a specialist. Hope all goes well - please keep me informed.
