Suggest Treatment For Severe Facial Hair Loss In A Man

I am 24 yr old boy facing hair loss.Actually this is happening to me since I turned 13 yr old.Now I have grown a very little bald spot on both front corner of my crown and also density of my hair from middle portion of the crown is reduced.I still have good amount of hair but the way I am loosing it will result to baldness.My father and grandfather also had the same problem and they turned bald at the age of Forty.My elder brother also have the same problem.In last one year my 14-16 hairs turned white...might be due to increased stress(don't know the exact reason).I am also having low acidity problem for the last 6 months.Please help

Hello.

You seem to have male pattern baldness which is hereditary. I am afraid you will also turn bald as your father and grandfather.

However, there are a few options you can consider to halt the process.

1. Use of topical Minoxidil 5% lotion 1ml twice a day.
2. Biotin and Zinc supplements for 2 weeks.
3. Avoidance of stress by meditation and exercise.
4. Hair transplant.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr Geeta
