Androgenic alopecia hair loss
Why am I facing androgenic alopecia at such a young age, it started when I was 16- 17 years old, now I am 19 years old , and I can challenge you I have never seen a single boy with a V shaped scalp like me of my age group, why I am the odd man out? Nobody likes me in the college,no girls like me, not even boys, I look terrible with less hair, everybody taunts me, its better to die

It must commonly starts at this age only. You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or  contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
