Scalp also feels very itchy and sometimes feel like a burning sensation as well. Please help find a solution.

You need an exam by a doctor with careful medical history.  Only then you can have a diagnosis of what is happening so you can explore treatment options.

If you have thinning hair you really need an evaluation to see if it is genetic or from another cause like stress or autoimmune.  If it is determined to be genetic there are many options and traditional treatments like rogaine foam and propecia pills can be used.  I have great success in my practice using injectable progesterone and prp to the scalp.  I suggest seeing a dermatologist with expertise in hair loss.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is most likely that you are developing Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHL). However the speed of onset, itching, and burning may be indicators of a more serious problem such as an inflammatory dermatological condition that may need to be treated quickly.I suggest you go to see your family doctor as soon as possible so they can examine your scalp and ensure this is not the case.

The smart thing to do is to see a doctor and get a diagnosis. With that in hand, the doctor cam diagnose genetic hair loss and very successfully treat it with medications in most young men. be smart, see a good doctor.
