Hairfall at 16 and even top head part is visible. help what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get seen: At age 16. This is too young for male pattern baldness. The first consideration is telogen effluvium or one of the hair infections. If this is alopecia areata (like the bodybuilder in the photo), it will be good to know now though it's less treatable. A dermatology consult is in order.
