Hey guys here's what I have going on. I used to be overweight and went on a diet. Lost 20 pounds in about 5 weeks and noticed hair thinning all over my head for the first time ever, no previous issues with any area on head. I was losing hair drastically when drying hair after shower/ and on pillow. However now this specific shedding seems to have stopped with no more than a couple hairs on pillow and towel after shower. The hair on top of my head was and still is drastically thinner (although the extreme shedding has seemed to stop for now) with a small "bald spot" forming on the crown of my head. The sides/back of the head thinned aswell as my hairline. Hairline didn't really recede but truthfully I never payed attention to it before. It would have at most receded a cm at the temples compared to pictures of me years ago at around age 16-17. I dont want to be the "its telogen effluvium" guy but the factors seem to line up and I cant self diagnose this from other pictures on the internet. Have not visited a hair specialist and have no hair loss regimen. Let me know what you think this might be. Ask for more pictures if needed. Thanks
