I am an 18 year old asian girl with a fairly good diet- I am 45 kgs and 5 ft 5" tall. I used to have silky straight hair but since 4th grade I've had a bad case of dandruff (my skin is acne prone too). My hair type changed from super silky to voluminous and frizzy ( I have a thick head of hair). I've lived with this for alot of years now and I can control my acne, but recently (almost 2 years ago) my hair started changing in texture. a normal hair strand is "smooth" and "straight" uniformly along its length, but mine have become thick, "kinked" and ribbon like, EXACTLY like pubic hair! These sort of hair mainly grow along the crown area and the back of my head.. even my fringe hair are turning kinky ! I've developed a bad case of compulsive hair pulling.. if Im sitting at the PC or whatever, I begin searching through my hair and pulling out these kinked hair.. trouble is even my new hair are extremely pubic hair like, and the hair I pull out have their roots covered in a thick "gel"- the roots themselves look "swollen" and black ( I have black hair). If I press a root between my fingers the swollen root crumbles away in my fingers like ink. Now I'm beginning to show a little bald patch near my hair part and Im losing fringe hair (falling out naturally). my mother does not take me seriously & the only dermatologist she took me to didnt even listen to me! what a fraud!!
I would REALLY appreciate help.. Im extremely upset, I dont do drugs or anything at all.. my blood work is all normal, even my pelvic ultrasounds. but I do have excessive facial and unwanted hair growth. I have to wax my "moustache" and keep the hair off my legs and arms!
thank you and happy new year :D
