I'm losing my hairs in v shape from sides to backwards gradually & after combing they look like thin hairs on a balded head?

Question

I'm 24 year old. I used to have long thick hairs 2 year's back. Thereafter I experienced a period of intense stress, may be even depression for almost 3 year's. Now, I'm loosing my hair's in v shape & they are getting thinner with each passing day. Suggest me what to do now to the earlest?

If you are losing your hair is a "V" shape, it probably is not related to stress.  If you are concerned see a doctor for a proper exam.  There is a reason they call it male "pattern" balding.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Your biggest enemy is the
progressive thinning leading to a balding pattern that is not evident at this
point in time. The degree of thinning that you are showing would suggest that
you should see a doctor who most likely will get Bulk Measurements of your hair
to determine the degree of the thinning that you are presently having. If the
diagnosis is early genetic hair loss, then the best treatment would be the drug
finasteride which is highly effective in men of your age and may not only stop
the hair loss but possibly reverse it. If you are developing a more advanced
balding pattern the best test to get will determine the Bulk Measurements of
your hair and this will show, over a one year time frame, how effective the
treatment will be. Once you know this information, then you and your doctor
need to develop a MASTER PLAN which will define what you need to do over the
years to come.
