Hair fall and thinning
Hi Doctor,
Most of my hair fallen and it is really thinny now even though I am just 25. I feel very low sometimes due to this issue. Is there something wrong with my body. My family has a history of baldness issue though. Still I am not convinced with the fact that I have lost hair at very young age. Please advise me how I can cope up with this and ways to preserve atleast what I have now. Also please suggest If I can take any test to find out issues within in my body. Hoping for some solutions to deal with this issue as I am really fed up with this.
Thank you.

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia or which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is minoxidil lotion and finesteride tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream works will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. Please consult me with photos for proper examination and treatment.
