Hair Loss at 15

by TSSS, Nov 03, 2009 11:50AM
Hello, I am 15 and recently I have experienced losing my hair a lot. I have oily hair and so I started to use baby shampoo since that is kind to your hair and I also started to wash my hair everyday. But now I have been starting to loose a lot more hair than normal! In the shower and out of it. If I just run my hand through my hair I will catch at least 3 or 4 hairs. I normally have very thick hair but now I can feel it getting thinner! I am extremely worried about this and was wondering what could have caused such a thing and how to solve it! Please take the time to answer my problem!

Hello,
The causes of hair fall could be due to stress,fungal infections,alopecia aereata,hormonal imbalance(overproduction of dihydrotestosterone and thyroid hormones irregularities),malnutrition and sebum plugs on skin.

I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get these possibilities evaluated. Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Warm regards.
