Shadow19 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Good day, I am new here and I am wondering if I have hairloss. I live in Pakistan and considering I am only 18 years old I do not think hairloss should be an issue. Nontheless I discovered, that my scalp is visible when my hair is drenched in water and shampooed. My hair is thick and currently it is shorter than it usually is. I attached also some pictures where my hair is 100% dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCaps Posted June 29, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2021 You are young, with what it seems, tons of hair. The thinnest area also seems to be the crown. This is a commonality shared by everyone. We refer to the area as the whirl. This is where the hair starts at a point and spreads (away from the point). Because of this, no one enjoys any shingling and, thus, it always looks thin. It is encouraging to know you are keeping tabs on what's going on. My first question would be...Is there family history of hair loss? If so, keep and eye on things. If you see changes, schedule an appointment with your PCP. For now I would not worry about anything and enjoy your youth. Oh, your hair is quite stark and, given the contrast between and dark hair and the light scalp. it's always going to look worse than what it truly is. Again, nothing to worry about for now. 1 Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration. I am not a medical professional and my comments should not be taken as medical advice.

Senior Member JP28 Posted June 29, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi, Well first you have beautiful hair! I’m not sure if you’re thinning but you could still go see a specialist and have that confirmed. I notice some dandruff tho and that could be a skin condition so I’ll get that treated first cause that could actually cause hair loss. If you get into treatment right now I feel like there could be chances to reverse that hair thinning if hair thinning there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow19 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 @Melvin- Moderator slight tginning is normal I think. It could also be shock hairloss. I have lost a lot of weight in the past 4 months (21 pounds). I also changed my diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side you’re only 18 so you can be proactive now to avoid more damage down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be nothing, but good idea to make sure, better to be proactive then be in denial. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.
