26 years of age, NW1, with thinning in the crown due to a fungal infection. No prior hairloss
I noticed my hairloss last november. one day i woke up, while shampooing noticed 300-500 hairs on my hair. I panicked, freaked out in disbelief, thought I was severely sick! I later thought nothing of it thinking it was probably just because I had been out partying too much and getting drunk or high. The very next day, again! hairs all over my hands in the shower, this is when I started gently pulling on my hairs and noticed no matter where i pulled, they came right out. My scalp was itchy, hairs were popping out of my scalp if you just stared at them. Decided to cut my hair to 3/4 of an inch and thats where my heart sank..i nearly passed out when I looked in the mirror. The crown, where did all those thick hairs go overnight? how did they dissapear? I mean i wasnt bald in the crown, it just looked silly with the crown not being as thick as the rest of my hair.
Went to the derm, disagnosed me with fungal infection and told me I didnt have MPB, but I can get on propecia if I wanted. I didnt believe him, knowing that baldness runs in the family. Prescribed me 2% ketaconozole extina to kill the fungus and 30 days later got on proscar.
The hair loss continued severely up untill this June where it came to a stop. However I still have days where i magically shed for no reason, dont know whats going on.
All I can say, is from here on, its just slow torture. I would not wish hairloss on my worst enemies..its emotionally devastating. I can just feel that I wont have this hair for much longer if the random shedding keeps up. Problem is regrowth, I just dont see it! Ill post results in the coming months.
