Hi, I am a 20 year old male who is worried about some hair loss at the neckline / nape of the neck region. I currently do not have any signs of balding on the crown or the hairline, but for some reason, every time I pull on the sides of the neck hairline, one or two tapered hairs fall out. My question is whether or not androgenic alopecia can affect that region or if that region is determined by other genetic factors? Thanks.
Answer: Hair Loss -- PRP, Progesterone, Stem Cells/ACELL, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUE), Spironolactone or Finesteride, Rogaine This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: It is normal to lose 100 to 150 hairs every day I'm sure you have learned that hairs grow in cycles through anagen, catagen, telogen and back to anagen again. Every hair on our head (most people average 100,000 to 120,000 head hairs) under normal circumstances will grow on average for 6-7 years and then fall out and be replaced by a new one. This is why you never see anyone with hair that has grown below their knees (even if they have never cut it). As humans we don't shed like dogs, instead the hairs fall spread out randomly across the scalp as they reach the time to fall and be replaced.

Answer: Losing neck hairs Without any changes going on i the crown or frontal hairline, it’s unlikely to be AGA. Obesity, excessive fat in the area, and various scarring alopecias can cause loss there. See an expert if worried.

Answer: Neck hair In some individuals, the neck hair is genetically programmed to fall out early. Rarely have I seen this in a 20 year old, but not uncommon in a man over 35. A few hairs may not mean that you are losing neck hair but just normally cycling hairs
