Hard to answer without seeing you, Mini. But I can say that serious, irreversible hair loss is very unlikely at your age. I would get some shampoo containing the ingredient zinc pyrithione (ask your druggist) and use that while waiting for an appointment with a skin specialist. And don't tear your hair out!
