Can young adults suffer from hair loss?
Male hair loss affects mainly individuals between the ages of 20 and 30, but it can occur in a 15-year-old boy as well. A history of family hair loss will be helpful in determining if there is any possibility of such a problem – if a parent experienced hair loss at an early age, the risk that this will occur in their children is increased. Alopecial areata and telogen effluvium are forms of temporary hair loss which can affect babies.
