Dear Dr.Rassman,
I am 18 years old.I had a normal hair growth around 4 months back.I stayed in a place called shimoga and for the past six months,I am staying in bangalore pursuing my studies.I have been suffering from hair loss for the past 3 months.I wish to confirm that nobody else in my family is bald.I have a receding hair line and this is worrying me a lot.At present,I am using Himalaya Hair loss cream for the past one month.I even consulted a doctor and he said that it was normal at this age.Is the hair loss due to any diet deficiencies or due to change of water and weather as such?How can I regrow my hair and make it stronger.Please tell me how I can increase the density of the hair follicles.Please reply.Sir,I will send the photos within a week.I am losing approximately 60-70 hairs per day and the hair line has receded considerably.Please help

This is the hair loss cream I am using. http://www.himalayahealthcare.com/products/hairloss_cream.htm

Himalaya Hair Loss Cream is another of the herbal medications for hair loss with lots of claims and no proof for its impact. The site does not suggest that there is anything new there.

It sounds like you are undergoing male patterned hair loss, but the loss of your frontal hair line may just be the maturing process that occurs in young men through the age of 29. Normal daily hair loss is between 100-150 hairs in the average caucasian, less for Indians or other Asians. Get your hair checked out first and stop the panic. Send me those pictures you were talking about to the address on the Contact page.
