Hey there,

I've been lurking a bunch of topics here for a while and finally got the courage to sign up and ask for everyones opinions. Sorry if this is in the wrong section or whatever :)

So since about mid december (2011) I've been worried sick about my hair because I think I may be loosing it. I have longish hair (medium kind of length, really thick) and I freaked out about my hairline one day when I got out of the shower and my hair was wet. I'm fine with that now but I decided to check the back of my hair and see if there's any noticable signs. This is what I found:

This is the back of my hair when I haven't touched it at all.

This is it when I've parted it.

I've been freaking out over this for what seems like forever (It's only actually been a month haha) and it's all I've been thinking about which has put me on a downer through christmas/new year.

Everybody on these kinds of forums that I've been looking at has been suggesting either a hair transplant or a treatement or rogaine or propecia. I can't get any of those because:

A) I'm 17
B) I don't have enough money to pay for that kind of thing.

I've been to the doctors about it but he wasn't helpful in the slightest. He didn't really take me that seriously and booked me in for a blood test to look for alopecia areata (which came back negative.)

The only two things that I could potentially have are:

Telogen Effluvium (Someone suggested that after I said that probably every hair that I find laying around has a little white end on it)

MBP

Sorry for the rambling.. I'm andy by the way :) haha

yeah i would also say you have nothing to worry about right now. Look at your family history and keep an eye on it, but don't spend your time thinking too much about it!
