Comb Translucent
 |
Please help; I'm so scared of going bald. What could be the cause of my excessive hair loss?
I'm only fifteen, but it seems to me that I am losing more hair than is normal. Tonight, I lost over 100 hairs JUST in the shower. I counted 
I've heard that about 100 hundred a day is normal, but whenever I run a brush or comb through my hair I lose about 5 hairs on average. Most of the time the roots have translucent chunks of hardened skin on them. So gross.
On my scalp there are some kind of bumps, like the pimples on my forehead (puberty). My scalp gets mildly itchy sometimes and I have a little dandruff. Are these the causes? Is it just the shampoo I'm using? A nutrient deficiency? Please help me.
When you say there are "chunks of dry skin" it makes me think of acne.
If I were you, the first thing I would do is to calm down, stress can do so many things to the human body.
Secondly, I would try to get rid of the acne because #1 you don't want it, and #2 it sounds like it could be contributing.
my suggestion for acne reduction is to check your diet, acne can act as sort of an allergy dump. Write down what you eat every day, and after a week passes find the things that you eat the most. Then start picking them out. Take one thing out of your diet for 3-5 days, and if nothing changes put it back in your diet and take something out.
Also, acne can be caused by pores not being opened by sweating. Sweat comes up to the surface of your skin from the base of the hair itself. If you got for a good run every day and get some sweat dripping, you'll be helping your body and you'll be preventing acne. And if acne is what is doing this to your body, then this should help. 
And also, make sure you get the right nutrition, no offense intended, but you need to make sure you eat a balance diet. grain, fruit, vegetables, meats and dairy (I personally try to stay away from cheese though) and remember to drink plenty of water every day! (I put this in because you mentioned the possibility of malnutrition, and I have known of too many girls that have gone through this due to their choices, such as vegetarianism, which caused one girl i knew to have an iron deficiency and pass out all the time)
