Do I have Werner's Syndrome?
Hi, I started losing my hair at 15. I'm 20 now and it's almost completely gone on the top of my head. Recently I have noticed a few graying (or at least lightening) hairs in my facial hair / sideburns. I'm worried that this might indicate Werner Syndrome! I'm 6'3" and have no family history of Werner's but it still worries me. Anyone know what could be going on?
ALmost every man on my mother's side of the family is bald. Also, my father's side has it's fair share of baldies as well, including my father.

TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR WORRY YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR AND GET THEM TO RUN TESTS ON YOU .TO PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE.. DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON DOCTOR GOOGLE. BECAUSE IT WILL TELL YOU THE WORST OF ANYTHING. IT GIVE YOU AN OCD OF FEAR.. SOME TIMES ITS NOT 100% TRUE. A for you it might just be the way you are does not mean you have Werner's syndrome , is there bold people in your family tree? some people grey early some even in their 20s

There you go, it's genetics. One of my buddies is only 21 and he is bald from the top, and he got it from his mom, she barely has hair..she poofs her hair all the time so it will cover her scalp.
