Am I Going Bald At Age 17 Help Me!!?

[Ananda]

Hello I'm here to ask a few questions regarding my hair. I've always loved my hair.. Lately my hair has started to fall out and it freaks me out!! It's very hard to stay focused when you're going through this phase. I'm losing around 50 hairs a day and I'm worried if I'm going bald. Also I'm attaching few photos.. Please help me out

Since my only two options are to help you, I suppose I will try. I am surprised no one else has replied. You have male pattern baldness and for 17, I would say it's starting to become quite aggressive. If you look in the first pic, you can see throughout the male pattern baldness pattern that the hair is thinner than on the sides. Unfortunately, you're too young to attempt medication, but I would consider it in a couple years. Luckily looks like you have dark skin, so that definitely helps.

You have female pattern baldness which is not uncommon for men in asiatic populations.

He's somewhere between the type O of male pattern baldness and fpb,as there's no recession of the temples and no exclusive crown loss.
I believe this type has different etiopathogenic factors than the typical type you and me have.

Minoxidil and Nizoral might help you for a few years. When you're older, you could use finasteride
