Could it be Telogen Effluvium? this is a picture from tonight. My hair is NOT wet. It’s getting WORSE quick.

NW2? I think. It’s been like that for 10+ years atleast.

What is this? Where can I get it. im losing a lot more than 100 hairs a day. my question I guess is, a 34 Y/O male, with not family history of MPB, no signs of MPB myself just starts losing all of his hair in a month period? My bald or balding friends say they have never experienced any type of hair shedding as I am.

Thank you for your response. So are you saying this could be MPB? I had a FULL head of hair a month ago

Over the last 3 weeks, I have been shedding hair like crazy. It started mid October. If I simply run my hand through my hair , I’m guaranteed to have 5-6 hairs on my hand every time. In the shower they come out even more. I went to a dermatologist on Friday (11/3). She said it wasn’t MPB, and gave me mometasone furoate to use twice a day. I’m gonna attach two pictures one from Sept 19th, and one from today. The difference is insane. The dermatologist told me that the amount I’m shedding is not in-line with typical MPB and may be from a vitamin deficiency. My dad has a full head of hair at 64, and my mothers dad had a full head of hair when he died at 70. I’m starting to get worried something is wrong. Thanks in advance! I also added two pictures of the result of combing my hand through my hair lightly.

Thank you for the replies. I am not familiar with Fin. I joined this forum 9 years ago when I had a “scare” . Since then my hairline hasn’t moved an Inch… I’ll attach one more photo with better lighting. Here is the scary part to me. I got a haircut mid august, and I took a video and sent it to my girlfriend. My hair was full, and the crown/swirl was literally perfect. Now two months later and it looks like this. How could it go from “perfect” to this is 60 days? And I just noticed the shedding last Thursday. Edit- this summer I had a life change, job change etc. since this summer, I have lost almost 15 pounds, and for about a month straight was eating nothing but one ramen soup a day with literally no protein. also- can you fill me in a bit more about the fin treatment? thanks guys!

Just to add, my mothers father, at 70 had a little bit of receded hairline but no breakup of the crown.

Hello, I’m a 34 Y/O male. No family just of MPB. The last 5 days out of nowhere I have noticed shedding while in shower, hairs on my pillow etc. this is a picture of my crown today(please excuse the background lol) . Sometimes when I’m bored I’ll check my the crown of my head. Maybe 2 months ago I checked and it looked almost perfect. But today not so much. Any advice would be helpful. I also have this weird bump on my crown for quite a while now. Scheduled an appointment for a dermatologist next week. Never have I noticed shedding for over a day or two. Right now the shedding is really bad. thanks in advance

Thanks for replies! I'm very insecure about it.

Maybe this is a better picture, wet hair. My hair is very long at the moment, i can cover up my natural "swirl/cowlick" but when i do another spot will pop up thanks

For the last 8 days, while showering I have attempted to see how many hairs that im losing. With just normal shampooing i have yet to see a single hair in my hands. Even after a "harder" shampooing I have only counted 6 hairs in total in the 8 days. Today, I happen to notice a spot on my crown in which i hadn't seen prior.

thanks for the responses! How do i go about getting on finasteride? heres three (worse) photos

Hi, im 25 and recently started noticing my hairline has been receding. The only person in my family with any hair loss is my moms dad, who at 70 had a pretty decent amount of hair, really only a receded hairline. I went to a hair specialist, and was told i had nothing to worry about, and kind of hurried me out, but my hair is definitely doing something. Thanks for your thoughts.

Man, I can't thank you enough, seriously. I can't get anyone to take me seriously, since my hair is seemingly fine ATM. I believe you're right on the spot about the restoration doctor. I went and got a haircut yesterday, and asked my hairdresser what she thought. She admitted she didn't know a whole lot about MPB, but that my hair on top was not thinijg at the moment. I plan on scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist Monday. But I'm not sure what questions to ask, or what test should be run. Of the two medications mentioned, are they prescription only? Thank you so much for you help! Here is a photo after the haircut of the crown. imgur: the simple image sharer

I'm confused now! I went to a local hair restoration clinic yesterday, he said that I actually have a smaller forehead (4 inches from brows to hair line) . He said I've lost about an inch in my temple areas and that my hair on top/crown was very dense, he said he obviously wouldn't do a HT at this point, but if I WANTED to use rogaine, I could. And that there is no reason to start anything else. His only opinion was to take a picture now and a year from now. Should I go get a second opinion? Kind of worried with contradicting opinions. Thanks!
