[|Human|] I am 18, 6ft tall, and 11 stone (I dont think it is too relevant.) I have reason to believe I may have a very early hair loss problem, although my naturally high forehead may be scaring me a little too much. What is available to somebody of my age to halt the hair loss? I have very little family history of balding.
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorFirstly you must try and identify any underlying cause for hair fall. In males, it is commonly genetic. But since it is not significant to you, other causes to consider are hormonal(thyroid etc.), any lifestyle or residence change, stress, any history of recent illness like typhoid fever, any chemical procedures, etc. These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth. For now, you may apply minoxidil solution to scalp with hair multivitamin supplements with biotin daily continued at least for 2 months. Do consult a dermatologist as well, to assess your type of hair loss and to give you treatment based on the results. They may also suggest some routine blood tests if required. It is necessary for you to maintain a healthy diet, avoid stress etc. Since your hair loss is not severe, you may continue medical line of treatment. If medical, methods do not work well for you, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP.hair transplant etc., as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation. Hope this helps.
