Okay, I'm just gonna run down the facts. I have OCD and I have a horrible fear of losing my hair. It's an on and off fear... dies down then it flares up again. I've posted on here before and my worries died down, but it's flared up again, and I've been checking my hair a lot. I also have seborrhoeic dermatitis and it makes my scalp pink, as opposed to white. My hair is also very fair.
Anyway, I've been using my laptop to take pics of my hair, and I've noticed like this 'strip' of hair that doesn't look as thick as the rest of my hair (you'll see what I mean), and my scalp stands out A LOT against the hair. I checked in the mirror and this 'strip' is non-existent in the mirror and my hair looks as thick as it always has. I decided to use a proper camera and take some pics, and it's made me even more confused. From the camera pics, this part am worrying about looks like a continuation of my crown? I dunno, but yeah. Here are the pics;
WEBCAM (these pics either had gel in, or I had just woken up):
CAMERA - FLASH AND NON-FLASH (freshly washed wet hair, and then naturally dried hair):
And then... this is how my hair is naturally... no wax or anything. It sticks up on it's own naturally, and is very fluffy. This is how it's always been.
Sorry for posting all the pics, but am getting proper worried, and I don't know whether am worrying about nothing... as is the way with OCD :/.
Anyway, any responses would be greatly appreciated.
* I realise I've only just posted a topic, but I asked about my hair on another forum and someone suggested MBP, and it's honestly scared the crap out of my and I feel horrible... I find this place more reliable though... hence all the pics.
Sorry for asking so much, I've just got such a horrible fear of losing my hair it's making me ill, and want to know if it's just my OCD making me worry irrationally, or whether there's something to be genuinely concerned about.
Thanks.
