I am also wondering if I'm going bald. In the past year I've lost a significant amount of thickness to my hair mostly on top. And it has been dramatic since the hair was coming out in handfuls(2-5 strands per gentle hair pull). I would see it on my shoulders, on my pillow on my keyboard, on my kitchen counter, in my food. Pretty much everywhere. I had an insane itch accompanied this and my hair was typically drier and fragile almost brittle looking.
as I type this message two more hairs have fallen onto the keys and one on my shoulder my hair on my head is diffuse due to the constant shedding and growing of hair. I have large amounts of hair in stubble form under neathe the longer hair. so its weird as if someone had some magic clippers that would cut hair under the long hair.
So my question is if this is normal balding? or something else(allergic, diabetes, hyperthyroid) causing this? From online searching seen a large link between those aforementioned things and shedding/excessive hair loss.
Honestly I've been under more strain/stress than I have ever been in in my life, and after having a baby and all the responsibilities that brings into life, I was nervous and stressed leading up to it. I know there is such thing as tellogen effluvium where massive amounts of shedding occur. But I was wondering if this is also how some go bald?
also an added note, I've done really nothing, and more hair has grown back as far as thickness but and shedding has slowed down but still continues to fall. I've tried to reduce how stressed out I am. But that's like trying to say I don't want to be responsible?
Any comments would be recommended.
