Could I Lose Most of My Hair Before I’m 21 Years Old?
I stared losing my hair at 18. I was wondering, is it possible that a male can lose most of his hair by the age of 20-21? With no receding hair line, My dermatologist has already diagnosed me with androgenetic alopecia while a few months back I was diagnosed with Serbohric Dermatitis
Insight into this would be great.
I have seen a small number of young men under 22 years old who show significant balding. These men often have a family history of Norwood class 7 balding (see diagram at right) and when this occurs generally, it impacts the men under 25 years old. I don’t know enough about you or your family history to have any idea about the possibility of you going that bald but at an office examination I may be able to predict what balding pattern you are heading towards.
Starting on the DHT blockers like finasteride may alter the course of the balding. Talk to your doctor, as it is a prescription medication.
