Q. I have hair fall of 10 to 20 strands a day. Is there anything to worry?
Hello doctor,
I am 14 years old. My problem is that when I brush my hair, I found my hair on it. My hair fall is 10 to 20 hairs a day. Is there anything to worry?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Hair is one the fastest growing cells in the body. Hair has different growth cycles like anagen (growing phase), telogen (resting phase), and catagen. Losing 50 to 100 hairs per day is considered normal. Old hairs are replaced by new hairs. If you are losing hairs on the front of the scalp and sides, leading to the receding of the hairline, then it is worrisome. It is called androgenetic alopecia. If it is so, please attach your clinical picture along with your query so that it is convenient for me to comment on your condition and give you appropriate suggestions.
