Maybe you have hair loss that is not genetic. Maybe you have an autoimmune disease. Maybe you have too much stress.  Maybe it is telogen effluvium.The Internet will leave you with lots of maybes.An examination by a doctor may give you a diagnosis.When you have a diagnosis you can explore treatment options.

Marco Barusco, MD · Answer

You may have a type of hair loss that is different than the regular "male pattern" hair loss. You should consult with a dermatologist or a hair loss specialist to make sure your hair loss is diagnosed properly and treated. The earlier you do this, the sooner treatment can begin and the better the outcome.

I agree with the previous respondents that that the first step for someone with advanced hair loss at such an early age should be a consultation with a hair loss expert, preferably a dermatologist. I also agree that you should not consider hair transplantation. Depending on the diagnosis, your options might include:1) Aggressive combination medical treatment, to consist of finasteride, minoxidil, and low level laser therapy2) Scalp micropigmentation (having small dots tattooed on your scalp to simulate the look of a shaved head)3) Wearing a hair system (hairpiece)4) Shaving your head (with or without scalp micropigmentation).

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

With this condition, you must see a doctor who is skilled in the field of hair loss. A 19 year old with this degree of hair loss is NEVER a candidate for a hair transplant, so don't let anyone sell you a hair transplant. Something is wrong.
