A member asked:

I was wondering i'm 23 year young but i'm already starting to loose allot of hair. are there any underlying causes or tricks to prevent this from getting worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Male pattern?: Alopecia. Certainly consult a dermatologist to determine the nature of the hair loss. Rogaine (minoxidil) is always an option; however, genetics play ahuge role and fungal infections must be ruled out.
