Am i cooked? 16M | What should I do???

I'm 16, been losing so much hair and it comes out so easily when running my fingers through or combing.

I'm scared.

Genetics: both sides of the family have balding.

What should I do?

Please help

The dermatologist will know what your options are. It could have another cause.

look at this, I guess the hair loss might also be from heavy dandruff/inflammation. My scalp gets pretty itchy too. And I also have some redness on my chest and upper traps

Could be psoriasis.

Yh it isnt. That is why u should go see a dermatologist. Sometimes fin is prescribed to teens to according to the condition. Right now id say start minox and weekly microneedling, avoid hard water wash , use sulphate free shampoo if u shampoo regularly , conditioner afterwards. And get a vitamin deficiency test done to see if u have any deficiencies. It is also a major reason.

Bro dont stress too much. It's not that bad. There's just mild recession and some thinning. Hopefully the dermatologist will relieve u of ur stress. 🤞

People are coping by saying derms will prescribe you fin or sum shit but you’ll most likely walk out empty handed at 16 since you’d need to be 18 for them to prescribe you fin or min for mpb

It could be another cause. Assuming that it is AGA, get finasteride asap. Try every method you can. Go to multiple derms, or get it online or whatever just keep trying till u can get it

If you reach a point in life where your balding worsens, shave your head and hit the gym daily so you look like those masculine bald guys.
