Hey everyone!
Im a 23 year old male, who hasnt tried treatment yet and wanted to probe the hairloss community for clues to my ailment.
When I was 20 years old I experienced what doctors were telling me was anxiety and depression. I felt sick and stressed out. During the year, exams especially, my hair would shed and fall onto my desk. It was gross and shocking. After taking anti anxiety and trying antidepresants for three years it was discoved, with a test that previously said I was normal on multiple occasions, that I had hashimotos thyroiditis!
After getting my thyroid hormone levels normalized Im now left with thinned hair on the top of my head.
Im still experiencing fatigue from time to time, weight gain, and stretch marks. My doctor is going to test me for cushings disease. But im wondering what other things could be going on. Along with my hairloss I have these red spots and pimples on my head from time to time. I gave myself a buzz cut weeks ago and removed the dead skin.. Now my scalp is revealed and I could see the red spots.
I only use bar soap every other day to wash my hair. I know there is science behind the ph of a soap and skin. Not sure if it also applies to hair.
My head looks like it has a lot of white space in between the hairs on the top, but the hairs are much closer togetger on the sides. The hair ontop of the head also feels courser and grows shorter than the side. If i let my hair grow out I get this weird hair style, long on the sides short on the top..
What are the treatments? Does anyone have any experience with autoimmune related hairloss, espcially hormonal diseases?
My body has historically been very hair.. Loosing it on the top makes me sad ...

Does anyone know what type of hairloss I have from just looking at it?
