I’m 19 and since yesterday I went to bed and my scalp was itching very badly so I spent most of the night scratching my head then woke up to see hairs on my pillow and I can pull out like 100 hairs in the space of a minute if I try (not pull out with force just a gentle pull) and I can see my crown a little bit.
Now I can just pull my hair out so easily like a slight touch and a few hairs will come out like 1-6 hairs every time. I don’t know what to do. My dad is the only bald person in my family and he went bald in his mid 30s. His parents weren’t bald, My mom’s four brothers aren’t bald and her dad isn’t bald either.
Also, I don’t think my hairline has receded at all and the top of my head is really itchy and is hurting. I’m really scared and need help asap before this becomes a problem.
Bear in mind that there are a number of non-genetic causes of hair loss as well so it’s important that you get evaluated by your physician. If you decide to take Propecia you’ll need a prescription. Rogaine is available over-the-counter.
