A member asked:

Is there any way i can evaluate if i'm balding at home - i think i'm losing too much hair i don't see it fall but looks a lot less?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: At 22 years of age excessive hair loss may be an indication of medical illness. Hence an evaluation is important
