I am 18 years old and i have noticed that the hair on my crown is a bit thinner than it used to be. There are many thick hairs on my crown but there are a lot of thin brittle hairs throughout the crown. My temples haven't receded. Also I have a very very low vitamin D deficiency and I was wondering if that is related to the hair thinning I have been seeing.
Answer: You need an exam In general hair loss as you describe it is usually male pattern balding (since you lose hair in a certain pattern).You need an exam and diagnosis to confirm this. Your doctor can test for vitamin deficiency.

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. Postmenopausal women also benefit from spironolactone. I suggest seeing a dermatologist with expertise in hair loss. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Hair Thinning in Younger Patients Male pattern hair loss could show its initial signs in early 20s and occasionally as early as 16. You need to be evaluated by a good hair doctor macro and microscopically. Looking into your exam and family pattern are the two key points that a doctor can make a good diagnosis. Following that a treatment plan needs to be formulated for you to prevent further hair loss or to restore your hair if need be.

Answer: Hair thinning Certain vitamin deficiencies, including vitamin D, can contribute to hair thinning and hair loss. If you are deficient in vitamin D, I recommend supplementing this and re-checking your vitamin D level in a couple of months. Make sure to take your vitamin D with a fatty meal, as it is a fat soluble vitamin.It would also be helpful to have an evaluation with your dermatologist to determine if there are any other appropriate treatments for your hair thinning. Several factors may be involved including genetics, hormones, other vitamin deficiencies, among others.
