Hi,
I am 23 yr. old female, and i am loosing my hair. I have noticed my hair has got thinner, and i am almost going bald frontally. I had very thick black hair but now i am afraid even to wash it. Everyday i loose a whole lot of hair, and i have noticed the hair comes out with the follicle. I have been in US. almost seven years; i didnt have any hair problems until a year ago. Couple of months ago i had a minor surgery done for fibrodomena..a benign cyst in the breast. But i have been having hair loss problems even before that. I don't know what to do. My hair is the most important part of the body for me. None of my paren't faily have a history with balding...so i think i can rule out the possibility of baldness being heriditary. I have gotten a thyroid test done but the doctor says the results are normal. I also have brittle nails, and i have gained 10lbs in the last couple of months. I don't know if hair loss at this age is a common; since i read somewhere that hair loss occurs in late 20's...I have also tried taking vitamins, and calcium and more iron..just to notice any diffrence; but nothing has worked yet.
please i need some advice, if there are other possibilites besides the one ..i 've been tested for.
