teen with excessive hair loss for few years
by karlya123, Nov 03, 2009 08:44PM
Hi,
I realized that I have been losing lots of hair for perhaps 4 years now. Whenever I wake up, hair is on my pillow, throughout the day, I will find hair strands on my clothes and shoulders. In addition, when I wake up and run my hand through my hair, around 30 pieces comes off instantly. I recently went to the doctor who gave me hair strengthening shampoo and I am taking Biotin 5mg for the past two weeks. At first there seemed to be less hair loss, but after a few days of taking Biotin, the condition went back to normal. I lose about 100 + pieces a day. I am at the lowest point in self-esteem in my life now. My scalp has been visible for years also. I am just scared since I am just 17 and I dread washing my hair or waking up to the next morning. I eat healthily, and don't have a thyroid problem. All my female cousins have thick heads of hair. I don't want to bald, what is happening? I am so scared.
