    Default 23 year old experiencing extreme diffuse thinning. Advice?

    I really appreciate all the info in this forum it’s helped a lot through this dreadful period in my life. To give you some background on me, I’m 23 year old and I’ve always worn my hair very shaggy and long. My hair has always been very thick but this last year I’ve noticed it slowly start to thin in a bizarre pattern all over. Only 3 months ago did I realize how bad it has gotten and Immediately jumped on the big 3 + dermarolling. Unfortunately the last 3 months I have lost a dramatic amount of hair, what started as very minor thinning has now progressed into very extreme loss to the point I don’t feel comfortable in public without a hat. I wish I had good pictures from 3 months ago but the loss has been significant. I have read about pretty heavy sheds but this is really extreme.

    I have no evidence of MPB in my family tree other then slight thinning in my 55 year old uncle. My dads side has “widows peak” style hairlines buy very thick and full hair. Now I’m pretty certain I just got unlucky and it’s indeed MPB. The only thing that has me second guessing is how hard it’s been to find comparable examples to my situation online and believe me I have searched and searched. The only thing that I have found that looks similar is telogen effluvium pictures, which from my understanding is reversible In some cases. I’m going to see a dermatologist and getting full bloodwork to check for hormonal imbalances and nutritional issues but I wanted to throw myself at the mercy of this forum for advice to my specific situation.

    Any chance this could be one of those rare cases of thinning from something other than MPB? Any advice at all would be awesome.
