http://i.imgur.com/yrJ3a.jpg when i part and spread my hair to expose scalp
sorry about the blurry 2nd picture, but It was a huge hassle to try and get good photos with my phone since i couldn't see it and had to do it myself.
Also, another thing that is weirding me out and makes me think it may be telogen eff, is that the hairloss is EVERYWHERE it seems, not really in any pattern. i know only a doctor can determine this all, but really, I can't see a doctor for at least 4 months from now, so any advice would be incredibly appreciated. It's frustrating to have to rely on the help of the internet, but it's really all i can do right now...

anyone have any idea? about those pics?

What you have going on there does not look like normal MPB. You need to talk to a doctor about this.
-
I agree with Tracy, it does not look like the typical MPB. Are you under a lot stress at the moment? It looks very much like the hair loss my friend was going through and it was caused by stress, very little sleep and poor nutrition.
Go see your doctor!

Get a shampoo called Bioderma Node DS plus. You can get it of the shelf until you see the Doc.
What about something like J&J's baby shampoo? Any thoughts?

That Bioderma shampoo is really expensive. I'm not so sure about it but I am open to hear what the doctors here in the forum think. I do not think what LilB and Peggie3 have can be trating the same way as common dandruff or hereditary hair loss. It's something different.
Concerning baby shampoo though, I think it is generally better to use sulfate free shampoo for daily washing. If you have dandruff or hereditary hair loss, I still think Nizoral or Nizoral A-D are the best options available as far as shampoos go.

Dermatitis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seborrhoeic_dermatitis
This is what I think me and LiLB have. The major ingredient in the Bioderma Shampoo is :salicylic acid.
Which is a known treatment for Dermatitis. It gets really painful sometimes and I cant touch my scalp. I hope this information helps some members who might be suffering from the same thing.
Regards
Peggie

There are other shampoos that contain salicylic acid yet do not cost so much. Nizoral can also be used for this condition. It would be interesting to hear what the doctors think. Either way I hope the best for both of you.

Thank you both for your feedback!
I don't think I have the same condition, but have never liked the way most soaps and shampoos make my skin and hair feel, and I'm thinking it might be due to sulfates (at least partially).
I'm noticing the soap I use is SLS-free. Would this be OK to use on my scalp/hair or should I specifically look for a shampoo instead? (I do use 2% keto shampoo 1-2 times a week.)
Also, the ingredients list "vegetable derived surfactant (coconut/corn/sugar)." Is this OK or might it have some of the same unwanted effects as SLS?
Sorry for all the questions, I've just never known anything about this and I'm intrigued now.
Edit: also, are sulfates found in conditioners typically? And is there anything I should look out for in conditioners to avoid?
