Heay hair loss

Question
Dear Sir,

I am a 21 years old boy currently I am working in a LTD. Co. my problem is from last 6 month I am suffering from heavy hair loss.  Due to this heavy hair loss the result is very horrible. Now at the top of my head there only few amount of hair is present but at side there is no effect.

Due to this heavy hair loss I am in very deep frustration, I am avoiding to meet my friends and even my girlfriend also. I do not understand what I can do for this problem.  Because every one is teasing me for my hair loss even my family member also. Seriously I am in very big frustration.

To meet you personally it is not possible to me. Please suggest me some way what I can do?

Please Please Please Please Please help me-



Thank you,

Vaibhav


Answer
There could be several different causes of this and the most likely is Alopecia Areata which is an auto immune condition where you develop an allergy to your own hairs and reject them. Other causes could include either fungal or bacterial infection and there are some more rare conditions that can also cause this. You should see a dermatologist to have the right diagnosis made.
