Hair loss in boys may be caused by physiological reasons, or may be caused by androgenetic alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis and other pathological reasons, which can be alleviated by adjusting lifestyle habits, dietary modifications, medication and other ways.

Physiological reasons: Due to the body’s metabolism, a certain amount of hair will fall out and grow every day, usually within 100 roots, which is a normal phenomenon, but it will not cause a significant reduction in the amount of hair. This situation is usually normal and requires no special treatment.
2. Pathological causes:
(1) Androgenetic alopecia: it is a kind of non-scarring baldness, which occurs in puberty and post-puberty, and is mainly manifested by the miniaturization of hair follicles and progressive reduction of hairs. It is related to heredity, excessive androgen levels, etc. It can be treated with oral finasteride, together with topical 5% minoxidil tincture.
(2) Seborrheic dermatitis: Seborrheic dermatitis, when severe, leads to the accumulation of sebum inside the sebaceous glands, which can destroy the structure of hair follicles, thus causing hair loss. It can be treated with ketoconazole lotion, ketoconazole cream and other medications under the guidance of a doctor to play an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial role.
Boys with hair loss, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital to do the appropriate examination, clear cause, under the guidance of the doctor to regulate and treatment.
