Thinning All Over Scalp When Going from Adolescent to Adult?
Hi Doc,
I went to have a miniaturization study done, and the doctor noticed that I have miniaturization everywhere, even in the permanent hair zone of the scalp. He says that I am going through a thinning process as I go from an adolescent to an adult. How long can I expect this to go on?
If you are developing fine hair where it did not exist before as you go from an adolescent hair to an adult hair, then that is possibly your new norm. What did your doctor say about the cause, besides describing it to you?
He did not state the cause, he just thinks I’m losing hair follicles as I age and that this process will stop. He said it was getting thinner as in less hair follicles, not finer which I think would be less diameter per follicle.
