I'm a 16 year old girl and recently my hair has been falling out quite a bit. As a teenager I am very concerned about this. I have low self confidence as it is and my hair loss has been eating away at me. It's been thinning, although my friends and family all say that they can't tell. I feel like I'm going insane sometimes. I went to the doctor and he took blood work. Everything was fine except that my testosterone levels were a little high which are making me have very slight hypothyroidism. He put on birth control to regulate my hormones and I've been on it for almost a month. It has gotten significantly better but I'm afraid I almost forget what normal is at this point. I feel like everything is back to normal but I'm still afraid that it's not. Every time I take a shower I lose about 10-20 hairs. On a bad day I'll lose 30. Then when I comb and dry my hair I lose a bunch more. Maybe 50-60. Is this normal?
Or am I just going insane? I even check my eye lashes, eye brows, leg hair and pubic hair. But lately I've been losing a ton of pubic hair too to the point where it is noticeable to me. Every time I pull on my eyelashes I lose one or two of them. Is this normal? I feel like I am going completely insane with this whole thing. Could you please give me advice? I would really
appreciate it.
