Hey everyone, I'm just going to get straight to the point, I think I'm experiencing hair loss, either due to oily scalp, traction alopecia or side effects from acne medication (roaccutane, I must have been on it for 6 months or so)
For traction alopecia, I decided to perm my hair a few months ago ( this was after acne medication). The hair dresser put some sort of chemical on my hair and some of it was soaking my scalp. I felt it tingle a little and was wondering if this could've caused some hair loss. I know that isn't traction alopecia - so she had to put curlers in my hair as well and while she did this, she pulled really really tightly. Could this have caused temporary or permanent hairloss? The curlers were in my hair for an hour or two under heat. I've been reading about it and forums say it could've forced my hair into the resting stage, the stage before it falls off. I'm unclear if a new hair grows out.
I drop about 15-30 hairs while I'm in the shower, I count everytime. I find this weird because I never noticed before that I was dropping hair. Some of my guy friends drop about 5 or less hairs. What is the normal range?
Oily scalp is oily scalp, sometimes, when my hair falls off, I can see sebum attached to the bulb. Does anyone have solutions to this?
Finally, acne medication - roaccutane. I read that hair loss was a side effect so I was wondering anyone has taken it before or heard about it.
Lastly, if no one here can help me, can someone please point me in the right direction? Which doctor would you recommend?
Thanks to everyone who read this, I hope I get some answers, I'll post some pictures soon.
Ps : my diet is really healthy and I exercise.
