Hi all.
I'm 25 years old, used to have a quite thick hair, especially in the crown area untill like 3 months ago (Aug 2014), 2 months after I had a major hair cut (June 2014 - I'm usually very conservative about my haircuts, never had a full one, only cut the very tips, until that one). Then when my hair got its length back, I noticed an increased shedding in my hands when I'm bathing. The strange thing is, I don't even remember if that was the first time I notice shedding, maybe because I never paid attention before, but then I stood in front of the mirror and there it was, I could see my scalp for the first time in my life!
Since then, I'm in panic really, every single hair shedding in my hand gave me the willies, and still does, even though I've never counted over a 100 a day.
Less than a month ago, I decided to see a dermatologist. He asked me about family history of Androgenetic Alopecia and I answered no (I still don't know the proper answer and I didn't ask him if my uncle's - my mom's brother - Androgenetic Alopecia is considered a +ve family history). So, he prescribed me Ducray's Anastim solution suggesting that it might be Telogen Effluvium as long as there's no FH, and I've been on it since then without noticeable results yet.
I'll be going on Anastim for the rest of it (2-month-treatment), but don't really know what I should do after I'm done with it with no result. So what do you guys think?
PS: The 3 pics from the left are taken today, after another major haircut I had for the military service (It's obligatory in my country and a shaved head is mandatory). The other 3 are from like a month ago with more than a medium length hair.
Also, can somebody please give me the Norwood stage I'm currently on? thnx.
