Que: I am 20 years old right now, but my hair loss started when I was just 17. Though the hair loss was slow at start, now it is falling quite quickly. Right now, my hair is really thin and there are plenty of bald patches. What could be the reason and what do I do about it?

Ans: There are several men of your age, who are losing hair, and there is nothing uncommon about it. The best suggestion from our side would be that you meet a hair specialist, who will analyse your hair, pattern of hair loss and the condition of your scalp. They will either put you on medication or suggest that you undergo a hair transplant.
