Hello. I went to the dermatologist after i had started shedding more than i used to. I had recently lost a lot of weight and been stressed, and the hair shedding just added up on that.
My symptoms where mainly just excessive hair shedding all over my scalp, most aggressive in the back down towards my neck and somewhat around the vertex. After looking closely at my scalp with some sort of microscope she did come to the conclusion that it wasn't male pattern baldness because while i had hair thinning it was pretty much everywhere and not in any specific area (i'm only 21 so dodged a bullet there).
Still a few questions i weren't able to ask so it would be nice to get your take on it.
1. If you are losing hair everywhere on your scalp simultaneously, does it automatically rule out male pattern baldness since it only affects certain parts of your head?
2. If anyone has been in a similar situation where they are shedding more than normal but it isn't male pattern baldness, how did you make it stop?
Thanks.
