Help! Am I Losing My Hair At Age 19?!?

Posted by

I’m 18 years old, almost 19 now, and for the past couple of months I’ve had this fear that I’m losing my hair. Whenever I wash my hair, I always look down at the drain and there’s a ring of hairs that has fallen out. Lately, that ring has had a lot more hairs than usual. I don’t count them, but I guess the usual before was like 40 hairs… but now I swear it’s over 200! But I wonder if that’s just because I’ve been washing my hair less often out of the fear of losing it. Many of the hairs seem to be coming out by the root. When I look in the mirror, I swear my hairline is receding. I have an “M” shaped hairline (some people have one shaped like the letter “n”). It’s a genetic thing, I believe, called a widow’s peak, I think. Anyway, at the edges is where is seems to be falling out. As of right now, at those edges (temples?) the hair is a little less than one index finger’s length away from my eyebrow. I swear I had more hair before, but I really can’t tell, seeing I wear my hair long over my forehead. So, I’m wondering what’s causing it to fall out, or if I’m just imagining things. I’ve heard that there’s a chemical called Dihydrotestosterone that causes male pattern baldness… but I don’t think my testosterone levels would be THAT high, considering I don’t have that much chest hair, I have very little muscle-mass, and my voice is still kind of high. I wondered if it was stress. I’m living under a very stressful situation right now… but I heard that stress-induced hair loss is when the hair comes out in “patches.” Could it be some habit I’m doing wrong? A disease? Am I eating the wrong things? There aren’t many bald people in my family– only my great-grandfather on my mother’s side (mother’s father’s father) was completely bald. Is it normal to be losing hair this young? Am I going to be bald before 30? Help!

    We know intuitively that cigarette smoking imparts irreparable damage. Toxins that spew out of the lit end promote death not health. Oxygen no longer bathes the nascent human cell and, worse yet, is replaced by carbon monoxide, the very antithesis of well-being. Forget about the cigarettes: save money! Just pucker up to your exhaust pipe. Each cigarette causes vasoconstriction for up to 12 hours, diminishing blood flow, life sustaining oxygen and nutrients, the very essence of what we need to mend our wounds. These vital substances are replaced by over 40 known carcinogens and toxins that most assuredly will be the ruin of skillful surgery; yet we question the responsibility of asking our patients to totally suspend cigarette smoking.
