General & Family Physician 's  Response
Common causes of hair fall include androgenic androgenic alopecia, fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, alopecia areata, and cancer chemo/radiotherapy. Treatment depends upon the cause, but the most common cause in young male is androgenic alopecia and unfortunately no reliable treatment medicine is available. Minoxidil promotes hair growth in some but you need to apply it for long time to see effect. Advice
1.     Tugain (minoxidil) gel 10% – 1 mL twice daily for 4 months
2.     Tablet PROHAIR 1 mg daily per oral for 4 months
3.     Capsule Revital – one capsule daily for 2 months
4.     High protein and vitamin rich diet such as eggs, meat, vegetables, cheese etc.
5.     Do not take much tension as anxiety/depression aggravates hair loss
6.     Hair transplantation/hair wig is also an option for you
Thanks
