Going Bald ‼️

Well, I tried to remain in denial for the past couple of months; but a second person's concerned comment confirmed by worst fear!Yeah, I'm losing my hair; and I'm losing it like crazy, to the point that I'm afraid to touch it.

Handful of clumps come out with every touch. This has never happened to me and I can't figure out the cause.

I thought of the most possible factors contributing to this; like stress, diet, medication, hair products ...

The main thing that has changed 3 month ago is my use of ketoconazole shampoo and clobetasol ointment (prescribed by a dermatologist for treating my psoriasis).

But, I've used ketoconazole shampoo before and nothing as such happened.

I don't know what to do and I need help ASAP, before I go completely bald!!!

can I suggest you speak with your dermatologist asap about this as some treatments have alopecia as a possible side effect.

My psoriasis does make my hair fall out at times when it is very severe, and some of the available treatments for this give alopecia as side effect.

good luck

The sa.e thing is happening to me. I know my hair is infested with something but they are so tiny but when my hair is wet it turns into a block that I can't get my fingers through it . But when dry it does not do that but even when dry I can feel things attached to my scalp and when I am able to slide one down to get it out I lose it. Take a clump of hair and wrap it securely in paper towels twice and store it in a pill bottle from the pharmacy and leave it in there for a month or more and don't open at all until at least a month and
