Hair: Although men can lose hair, you probably should not be having problems at the age of 24. A thyroid problem can cause this. Other skin conditions or even fungal scalp infections can be a cause for this.

See a dermatologist: Begin with a precise diagnosis. This will determine the best remedy. Andogenetic alopecia often begins about age 16. There are other possible diagnoses.
