18 Year Old With Hair Falling Out in Clumps

I’m only 18 years of age and have started to lose a lot of hair within the last 6 months. I’ve never really had a high hairline or anything. I’ve always had thick bushy hair at the front. I don’t think it can be androgenetic because everybody in my whole entire family, whether it be my parents parents or just my parents, all of them have a full head of hair. My brothers all have a full head of hair too and no sign of receding.

I was reading on the internet about hair loss and how it can be linked with cancer. I have found a lump and I was wondering if this could be anything to do with it. I have seen the doctor and he’s also bald (doesnt give me much hope) and had a blood test. It’s really depressing to find clumps of hair faling out each day and not growing back. If there are any solutions for regrowth please could you let me know. Thankyou!

If you are concerned that you have some disease, then first address this as your highest priority with a good doctor. Assuming that you have no medical problem, then you need to be managed by a doctor who can make the proper diagnosis (assuming that you have genetic hair loss) and then mapping out your head for miniaturization.
