Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss
hi i am a 24 year old male(almost 25), and i have a question regarding hairloss from dht, i have hairloss but ive been reading up and it fits more symptoms of female pattern baldness than it does male pattern baldness (overall thining of hair volume evenly rather than recieding or bald spots/patches, though it is recieided in the corners of the front hairline by about half an inch or so than it was at age 1 through 20 and my hair volume is about 1 fifth of what it was which was extremely thick as in a doctor couldnt see my scalp even if he/she tried) how can you know its dht? is there a blood test to check the bodies levels of dht or 5 alpha reductase types 1 and 2?, what is the differences between types 1 and 2? and are the needed in the body after puberty is completed? if not? can i eliminate them so i dont convert testosterone to dht anymore? i also heard fungus can cuase hairloss(ive had recurring seboreah most of my life) if thats the case can i grow it back after its lost?

Hi,
It may be generalised hair loss called telogen effluvium. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some cause for the condition. It may internal like anaemia,thyroid dysfunction,vitamin deficiencies or external like dandruff,sleeplessness or worries and anxiety. Your doctor might give perfect treatment after deciding the diagnosis...ok
Hope this helps.
