Hey everyone, I seriously need some advice from people who have gone through something similar because this issue has been affecting me mentally a lot and I stay stressed because of it almost all the time.

I’ve been dealing with this hair loss problem for around 2–3 years now. The main issue is on my crown area. Whenever I completely shave my head, I notice tiny small hairs growing back there, but they never properly grow longer or thicker. After some time, they become weak and fall/break again.

I’ve visited dermatologists multiple times. First, I was given treatment for Alopecia Areata, but later another doctor said it could be Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) / scarring alopecia and changed the medicines. So honestly, even now I don’t feel like the diagnosis is fully confirmed.

I also got a scalp biopsy done, but the doctor said the biopsy report looked “normal,” which made things even more confusing for me.

Because of all this, I stay under a lot of tension and overthink about it daily. I just want to understand what this condition actually is and whether anyone else has experienced hairs regrowing small but never properly growing and eventually falling again.

If anyone has dealt with something similar, please tell me what diagnosis you got, what treatment helped you, and what I should discuss with my doctor. Any serious advice would really mean a lot to me. 🙏

I’ve been dealing with significant hair loss for the past 3–4 years, and it seems to be getting worse. Hair is falling out in patches, leaving visible gaps on my scalp. In those same areas, I notice small red bumps that later fade into brown marks. It feels like something is constantly affecting my scalp, not just simple hair fall. I’m really concerned about what’s going on—could this be some kind of ongoing scalp infection or condition? Any advice would really help.
