When I Get Stressed, My Hair Falls Out Above My Right Ear and Temple
hi there,
i was just wanting to ask a little question for over a year now. i have been thinning on one side of my head, my right side above the ears and surrounding the temple area. what it is i want to know is when i get stressed i get this burning sensation around the thinning area like it feels like it is falling out as i get stressed. is it possible that when i get stressed i get really stressed?
I do not understand your symptoms. An examination is critical to understand what you are thinking is thinning above the ear on one side. It would be unusual for stress to impact one area cyclically, while leaving the rest of your scalp unaffected.
To whomever posted the above entry:
I can completely relate to your symptoms and have actually experienced the exact same burning sensation in my temple region in the past year as you are describing here. I lost a tremendous amount of hair in those regions only due to a stressful situation occuring in my life. I just wanted to back you up on that. Stress is undoubtedly a major cause for hair loss. In the last 3 months, I’ve noticed that taking herbal supplements particularly, Saw Palmetto, Zinc and B+ Vitamins twice daily has helped control this burning sensation as well as improved my sleeping habits…
I too have been loosing a lot of hair on my right side…
It tingles and yes it is almost as I can feel when hair falls out…what I hate is the cold feeling I get at times…it seems from having less hair…
I too started taking zinc and B12…hoping it will work…
