Should I Be Worried Of Having Left Side Of Hairline Being Slightly Higher And Less Hair?

My left side of hairline is slightly higher and has a little bit less hair than the right side. There s nothing wrong with the right side of hairline though. It s been like this for about 6-7 months. I am shedding more than 100 but less than 190 strands of hair per day. Is something wrong in this situation?

Hi,

Daily hair loss 100 to 150 per day is considered normal. So, do not worry. If you feel that you have hair loss more than 150, you may consult dermatologist . Have investigations to rule out systemic causes of hair loss. If your doctor thinks of male pattern baldness, he may prescribe finesteride 1 mg daily with biotin 10 mg. He might advise to apply minoxidil 10% solution. Cleansing the scalp with ketoconazole containing shampoo might improve scalp condition. Have positive attitude. You may be improved. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
