Hi there,

I'm 19 years old almost 20 in April. I'm a male and have been noticing more hair fall out than usual over the past 2 months. I have always had beautiful long hair and was always aware of seeing maybe 10 hairs a day (That i can see) fall out. Now just today in the shower I pulled out over 100. To answer some questions about stress. I lost a loved one back in March and also had a very stressful event in February that led me to be in the hospital. A month before I noticed hair falling out I moved out on my own. I have also been having headaches the past three months that the doctors are saying is Tension headaches. I also sent in a submission to Keep where they help you get finasteride and the doctor said he cant see any signs of male pattern baldness. So I got denied. Also when I pull the hairs out. They are from every where and not in the specific zones prone to the male pattern baldness hamartia. But at any given time I can just run my hand through my hair and pull out maybe 1-2 Hairs. It is becoming to the point where I am getting obsessed over this because there is no really clear answers for me at this point. I love my hair and would hate to lose it. My diet habits are not the best and I might be having a defieciency. I am looking into all factors that might play a role. My father started to bald in his late 20's. My Mother's Father had a great full head of hair. And out of my Father's brothers 2/4 are bald only on the top. Is this seasonal? Stress? Please offer me some guidance.

P.S I cant really notice any density changes in my hair.

Best regards.

Also, I used to always have my sides shaved in an undercut. Now all of my scalp is long. All hair is grown out and not shaven

I’d say you are probably losing your hair. You’ve got some miniaturization in your hair line. Get on finasteride. You’ll probably keep your hair for a hundred years

Once I start finasteride I wont be able to stop taking it correct?

You can stop whenever you want. You’ll just lose your hair at the rate you’re supposed to lose it (which could be years and years or could be one year like me)

Do I just go to a normal doctor to get prescribed. Is there any over the counter?

I’d go to a dermatologist, show them that your receding, and they should have no issue prescribing you. At least in the US. I don’t know where you’re from
