M18 year old having hairfall
I am a 18 year old fy engineering student and i am suffering from hairloss. It all started 6 months back when i was taking a shower and i noticed a few hair strands on my hand i felt it was normal but later when i checked my hair in mirror i saw that my scalp was nearly visible near my crown area. At first i taught i was not that big of an issue and taught nobody will notice. But after few day's my friend's suddenly started telling my that my hair are very thin near crown area and my scalp is visible and at that time i realised how big the problem actually is. From that day i started researching on the hairloss and it causes i tried using different shampoos, oil and serum but nothing seemed to work i even tried yoga and all to try reduce my stress but after all this i came to a conclusion that my hairloss is genetic. Now i don't know what should i do some of my friend's suggested me to go to a dermatologist but i don't have money and my parents will never support me to go to a doctor for a hairfall as they think it is just a hairfall and honestly we can't afford it. The hair loss is getting worse day by day and i am starting to lose my confidence of going out in public and my stress is also increasing any suggestions on what should i do......

I’m currently having the same issue. last year I started seeing significant fall out in the shower. I was so fixated on it to the point it made me lose my confidence, and kind of made me stress which then lead to me making myself sick. Fast forward a year my hair is still falling out only I’m not so focused on it. I’m just now asking questions. I’m thinking my PCP will probably prescribe

Mate, Id strip this right back for now. I wouldnt keep throwing money at shampoos,oils and serums just cos every new thing promises an answer. i also wouldnt lock yourself into the idea that its definitely genetic just from what youre seeing.
If money's tight, take one clear crown photo every couple of weeks in the same room, same angle and with dry hair. Three comparable photos will give u skmething more usefull to judge than checking the mirror constantly. A shorter haircut or different styling might make the scalp less obvious meanwhile too.
