Months After Extreme Illness, I’m Still Losing Hair
Hi,
I’am 19 years old and suffering from a great amount of hair loss. I got extremely ill about 4-5 months ago and almost lost my life. After the hospital i lost a lot of hair but eventually went to normal a month or two after. A couple of months after, i started losing even more hair. When i wash my hair, lumps of it fall out. I have seen many doctors but they all say nothing can be done. I have been taking Nutricap for a little over a month now and I see no difference. Any suggestions? I feel like i’m going to be bald by 20!
Hair loss after a major illness can be normal. I can’t explain why your loss stopped and restarted. It may all grow back in about one year time frame. If you were going to eventually bald due to genetics, the illness may have kickstarted your genetic process early… but if the hair grows back, then you don’t have to worry about that being the case. You’ll just have to be patient, though.
Look on the bright side — you didn’t lose your life!
