I am 18 years old perfect 17 years 5 months. I have side baldness literally I do not have side hair its genetics right from my age one I do not have hair there but as my head grew it is visible now I got an angled v shape on my head And recently from two months I have been loosing hair every time I run my fingers roughly in head or wipe my head with heavy force. My hair density per a square area was really less from my childhood it was very silky but I am afraid if this was getting worse as I am loosing hair. I am not sure any way. The v shape baldness was clearly visible now which existed from my childhood so do my fathers had. I wanted to know if I am going bald?~if so I want to get hair transplantation how much it cost? Am I going bald?~ I have searched many sites and I think my hair was in tollen's age. Please conform if it is TOLLEN effluvium? And will it stop eventually and then my hair grow back dense? Or anything I have to do?

You are having male pattern baldness or androgentic alopecia. You will require treatment with oral tabs and lotion for a period of sometimes more than 4-6 months. Initial treatment will be to decrease the hairfall and later on for regrowth of hair. If you have lost total hair on front side then we need to check once again and hair transplantation might be required which I would not suggest at such early age.
