Hey guys I’m a 25 year old male and I began aggressively losing my hair in September of 2020. About a month before the hairloss started I experienced horrible burning/itching on my scalp and all across my back everytime id sweat it was odd. Didnt think anything of it until I noticed my hands where covered in hair everytime id shampoo my hair. Next thing I and my wife noticed was my lower region hair was falling out as well as my chest hair and my beard got thin and patchy.
Over the course of the next 7 months my hairloss has dramatically slowed down after about the 4month mark although it is still visibly getting worse. My body hair seems to have recovered well but my hair has not as im still shedding between 30-50 hairs a day which is not normal as I dont recall ever shedding any hair until this. I went from a thick dense head of hair to practically bald I can see my scalp across my entire head and the only part of my head that seems to be spared is the back.
I visited a dermatologist 3 months into my hairloss and he told me it was most likely Telogen Effluvium and hes already beginning to see regrowth and a lot of it but Visually its only gotten worse. At the 6 month mark of my hairloss I visited him again and this time he took a biopsy sample from my left temple where I have ever so slight recession which Ive had since Ive been 17. Biopsy results came back as Inflammation and Mild Androgenetic Alopecia, Dr gave me finasteride and a topical corticosteroid and sent me on my way. Im just confused and I’m not sure what to do as if this was mild Androgenetic Alopecia wouldnt I not have lost over 50% of my hair in the course of 6-7months??? Ive began taking finasteride and im one month into it but at the 3 week mark my shedding has dramatically picked up again its thinned my sides and my entire top of my scalp even more. Ive attached pictures and ive just buzzed my head for the 2nd time in my life as my hair was becoming to thin to style. Anybody have any ideas what this could be its ruining my life literally.
