Is hair loss at a young age normal?

Client Question: male - Age: 17

Is this hair loss normal or not, Doctor? I am still a young man and I haven’t done anything in my life yet.

Doctor Answer:

Hello
Hair loss has several factors, either hereditary or health-related, but at the age of 17 it is evidence of a health problem that is mostly related to hair and scalp problems. Therefore, I advise you to go to the doctor to examine you and prescribe the appropriate treatment for your condition. Do not worry, at a young age, hair loss can be treated.
My best wishes for your recovery.
