Im 20, have thick hair, large volume of hair and a lowish hairline (at least atm). But 5 days ago I suddenly started losing about 20 hairs in shower. Today it was much more, approx 50 hairs in shower... so obviously Im panicking a bit right now and thought I'd make an account here and ask the experts. I wanna know what's the first thing I should do? Incase it's balding I wanna act fast and give myself best possible chance to not let it go on, assuming it's temporary.
Just some info on the situation, in my father and mothers side no one has started balding before 35-40. I usually didn't lose this much hair in shower in the past (if ever). I have a really itchy scalp at the moment don't remember if I just got it now or was like this for a while. Think I have a bit of dandruff too. Have really oily dark straight hair. I eat alot of protein, which helps hair grow quick, until now anyway, the intention is to put on some weight. Don't know if that has much to do with it. Have taken this diet for 3 years now.
So yeah am I overthinking this or could it be MBP? Is it demodex causing hairloss? I have alot to learn about hairloss and how to act. Should I go see my doctor or something? Or maybe dermatologist?
Thanks.
