Hairloss at a very young age
I am 22 year old male and I have been experiencing hairloss for the past 5 years. I have tried minoxidil after consulting a doctor but I have got no positive results. When I looked about minoxidil online I found that it is only good for those experiencing androgenic alopecia. The problem with me is that I am experiencing diffuse hairloss or overall thinking of scalp.I have no medical history of illness or allergy. So can I know what might be the reason for my hairloss. PS. I have a problem of having excess belly fat while my arms are skinny,excessive sweating and I get exhausted quickly.Does that indicate any underlying illness responsible for my hairloss?

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia 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. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream 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 contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting.
