So I was doing some research and it appears that I have sebhorreic alopecia. For those of you who don't know what this is, it is when the scalp has an overproduction of sebum which suffocates the follicles of the hair causing them to shrink and die. As far as I know, I think I've had this for...

I'm 23 going on 24 now. The first time I went to the doctors he wasn't of any help and in fact went on vacation after telling me to go on minoxidil. He also said it was just male pattern baldness. Since then I haven't really been to one. I got my hormone levels and those minerals and stuff...

Hey, so these images are from when I was 16-17 years old. As you can see, it's pretty bad. I don't know if its normal to have had this at such a young age, but I did. since then, I've had to shave my head. My hair is thin all around and I don't think I even have enough hair for transplants...

So my hair is really thin all over my head, each hair is spaced out like a couple mm throughout my entire head. What is the cause of this or whats going on ?

So my hair has been pretty much thinning all over since I was in highschool. My hair started to get really oily and smelly once I hit about grade 9 and it would look like it hadn't been washed for days. Fast forward to now, and my hair has been pretty consistent with it thinned all over. It...

cookcubed what kind of lifestyle are you living right now, as in foods you eat and regularity of exercising/ playing sports? Since if you don't live a very active lifestyle or haven't for a while then maybe this could be the cause. I used to take martial arts and stopped being active just...

I usually shave mine without a guard in place and sometimes even razor my head smooth. Those are the only ways that it won't look abnormal. Your hair is better than mine is i was looking at the pictures and it looks a lot thicker than mine. So you've had this since grade 8? For me it wasn't...

do you have any pics?

Thanks for the insight its really appreciated. This first started to become noticeable in grade 7 it was 2 years after I moved from living with my mom to living with my dad. My diet from which my hair was normal mainly had a lot of eggs and milk in the diet so I guess it was high...

Thanks for your insight but could you also shed some light on the age factor? I just turned 20 and its been progressively worse since i hit puberty

johnny you should look at my pictures in my story the link was posted earlier in this topic. Its all over and has been happening since i hit puberty. What about sexual activity?

But this has been happening since i started puberty up till now.

ah what terrible luck to have no treatments too. Having a full thick head of hair would make me a completely different person too how terrible. So nothing would help? When I made mention to eating a lot of eggs I was referring to the cholesterol that comes with it which clogs arteries right...

have you seen the pictures? There is no one in my family who has anything similar to that. What do you guys think would be the best treatment and what tests should i get done at the doctors to eliminate other possible causes?
