More than just hair loss

I am 18 and have been experiencing hair thinning and also hair loss for the past two years.  Recently though I itched my scalp and a fairly large chunk came out with hair folicles still in it.  I have also felt some small bumps and ungulations on the top of my head.  I am starting to be a bit concernd.

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.
