My Hair Falls Out In The Same Months Each Year
My hair seems to fall out every year and then it grows back. I can comb my hair and the comb is full of hair. Right know my hair is falling out and I noticed a bald spot on the left side of my head. I read so of the other people’s concerns and you stated that your hair don’t fall out year to year. In my case it does I wrote it down and it always happen in Feb-April each year. Please tell me what I can do about this.
I would want to know if you are using a tight hat or if you have done anything different during this time period that might cause the hair loss you see. Normally, humans have asynchronous hair cycling, which means that we lose on average 100 hairs per day and regrow the same numbers of hairs. In a 3 1/2 year hair cycle, the entire 100,000 hairs will replace themselves.
Some doctors think that humans may have more hair loss in the spring and less during the winter when it is colder, but frankly, I don’t believe anyone really knows. I can not explain your problem, but if the hair did not come back on schedule, I would be more than concerned.
Most doctors don’t believe in unusual seasonal shedding. But I assur you it’s true. For the past 3 years I have horrid shedding from May to August accomponied by itchy irritated scalp. I do nothing different at all. NOTHING. I don’t die my hair, use no products other then the best shampoo, no hair dryer etc. I have read of many others who have this exact thing. Today I lost 400 hairs.Summer I loose from 75 to 400 a day. I count them every single day for 3 years. Winter loss for me is about 25. Sometimes even less. I have had every lab i can think of and nothing is unusual. I have seen 14 doctors and no help. Do you have any input or can you offer any help. Thank You kindly.
Kathy – Me too! Every summer, like June-September. It started a few years ago, after I went through menopause. I feel like I’m shedding like a dog. What I hate is that now (January) my head is full of short hair where it is all growing back in, and I have to plaster it down so it is not sticking up all over the place. It will look fine in April or May and then the cycle starts again. I do have ‘spots’ of the itchy, irritated scalp, which they called Folliculitis. They never seem to heal. I scratch, they scab, scab falls off, calm for awhile and then it starts again in same spot. These spots are like boils, and they are sore and have pus in them. Gross. But I don’t think they are related to my hair loss since I had them before I started losing the hair.
I believe there is something in the fact that people can lose hair every year at certain times. Take my wife, when she started to lose hair it started with a small area at the back of her head. A small balding area which got bigger and bigger over the months. Then
other areas where affected starting with small balding patches which got bigger and bigger. prior to this she had been suffering with a tightness feeling all over her body, that she felt her skin wanted to burst open. But this symptom faded eventually over time and the hair grew back again.
This is an occurrence that had happened around the same time every year. Sometimes the there would be severe symptoms with the hair loss ie, feeling unwell, weakness, tightness in the throat.
She was hospitalized for three weeks last year in June 2016 but nothing of significance was found, maybe a virus, thyroid problems bla bla bla. But i believe there is a pattern here now. Hay fever and flue like symptoms are occurring every year and always around this time Feb and March and I think it is an allergy a virus that effects the thyroid glands which in turn sets of events with your liver causing high liver marker counts. And in turn effects of temporary balding.
By the way, there is no redness or boils or anything around the balding areas just clear skin.
Hi, i have the same problem, my doctor gave me hair-vit supplements and the hair fall stopped.
I want to ask the experts if I start taking hair vit before the hair loss phase will it work?
You might have had a vitamin deficiency that was solved with the vitamins you are taking
