Hey all I'm new here & have found alot of useful information since joining!
I'm a 23 year old female and since the beginning of April I have experienced diffuse hair thinning which has become increasingly worse over the last few months, I've seen 3 GPS and had bloods with just folic acid showing slightly low, each gp has said it's stress related and temporary but will not refer me to a derm so I can put my mind at rest! My problem isn't necessarily the thinning of my hair which is around half as thick but more so the fact I can see my scalp? It's so white and I never seen my scalp usually with my hair down just a few months ago but can now so it's scared me a bit, when my hair sheds I'm loosing alot of thinner and shorter hair behind my ears and the back of my head by my neck, it's also really itchy I'm so confused and I just want to know for sure if this is a temporary problem! Has anyone else experienced anything similar or maybe have any advice? Thanks Hannah x
