M24: DERMAT SAID THIS ISN'T AGA 😳

HAIR IS WET HERE, TOWEL DRIED 24M. I’ve always had relatively thin/low-density hair, but it was stable. I’ve been on finasteride 1 mg + minoxidil (SELF PRESCRIPTION) for almost a year.

Recently I’ve developed a sudden increase in shedding, with many full-length hairs having a small white/club-shaped bulb. It feels similar to what I’ve read about telogen effluvium.

I saw two dermatologists. Both said my hair is very severely thin, but they didn't see obvious miniaturization/AGA. One suggested GFC and basic hair serums with rednesyl and all . The one suggesting GFC just saw a bit with her trichoscope and said so...

I've no blood deficiencies except a bit D3 and I eat enough protein and sleep is also decent. Recently Lost around 4–5 kg earlier this year.

Moved to a different city ~2 months ago..

I have no idea now what to do ...HELP 🤝

COULD I expect better results on my crown switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride?

I've been taking Finasteride for years after having an FTE performed on the front of my scalp. My crown was never touched. I've tried both oral and topical (spray w/ Minoxidil) Finasteride. About two weeks ago, I switched to oral Dutasteride/Minoxidil. I understand that I'll initially go backwards given the shedding period and different half lives, but given my experience with Finasteride, COULD I expect better results with Dutasteride?

Hair thinning issue, help me I'm so stressed and scared

From the past one month i noticed that whenever I slide my hand on my hand 1-2 strand or upto 3 comes in my palm and when I'm taking shower the no. Upto 10 (through out the shower), i have dandruff too so i get a buzz cut thinking first i resolve my hair dandruff, I have fungal related dandruff and i thought the hairfall will stop after my dandruff is cured. But after 2-3 days i noticed that even my small hair falls sometimes like if i pinch and pull 1-2 strands and sometimes 3 strands comes between my fingers. I'm so scared and stressed There's no one in my family with genetic hair loss. What should I do. I can't even focus on my studies

Please give me suggestions ☹️ I'm just 18 rn

Am I Balding???

19M suffering from heavy hairfall. Until I shaved my hair I was loosing 4 strands every time I was running my hands through it. Also when I used shampoo or oil I used to have approx 15 to 20 strands in my hand(upto 10 for oil).

But now I very much rarely see my hair on the bed or even when I use shampoo or oil I don't see any on my hand.

Is it because my hair is short now or I cured it by shaving my hair or basically removing dandruff from my scalp???

No doubt I still got dandruff in my hair now and I think I will be using shampoo more than once in a week.
