How Can Severe Hair Loss And Depression Due To It In A 20-year-old Be Treated?

I m facing severe hair loss. I m only 20. But I am almost bald in the frontal area and crown and my hair line s also receding a bit. My hair s been falling out since quite a long time but it has gotten pretty severe now. Its so depressing.I cant even explain. Also I used to scratch my head a lot. But now I dont. Also, I used talcom powder for a few months 5 years back since my hair would get oily in a day(which still does) so to hide that but I dont use it anymore since I ve heard the zinc in it is bad for hair. My hair is very fragile and it comes out from the root. the baby hair also fall off. please help me.I now wash my head on every alternate day but it gets very oily in a day and i cant do anything abt it. I have trouble hiding the thinning patches. I cry myself to sleep almost every night. I feel so embarrassed. All girls of my age have nice thick voluminous hair except for me. oh and I have lots of white hair as well : ( Please help me. Also, I have a second problem. My skin is very sensitive. It gets red and itchy when it gets exposed to sunlight or just simply heat or even dust. red patches and tiny bumps appear on my skin. when i m in a cold area it kinda is a lil better. i dont even touch my face anymore coz it gets red and weird out of the blue. i have tiny red spots (maybe marks of which were once pimples) on most areas of my face and my skin is textured. I just want smooth clear bump free even toned skin. I m quite fair btw but because of redness and all, my complexion looks dull dark and weird. please help me out.

Hi,

For the hair problems, you should go for platelet-rich plasma treatment (PRP), which actually involves taking blood from your body, centrifuging it and then re-injecting the fluid into your scalp. It has very good results.

For the skin issues on your face, I would suggest applying sun block cream before going outside in the sun since you have a sensitive skin and try avoiding contact with any substance to which your skin reacts.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
