Balding

Name changed for this. I noticed a balding patch at the top of my head a year ago. It's really getting me down but seemed to have stopped growing so I am resigned to it. I have an under active thyroid so assumed it was related to that but the hair hasn't grown back despite being on medication. It could also be stress related.

Over the past few days I have started shedding lots of hair again and it's making me so depressed. I always had really thick hair. I'm going to talk to my GP but just wondered if anyone had any advice at all.

Photo here. My scalp also feels itchy, don't know if that is related.

Go to your GP, get them to do a full range of bloods. There might be something obvious, but if not get all the data and go and see a dermatologist specialising in hair loss - even if you are within ‘normal’ blood readings there are things that might be influencing your hair growth.

Thanks that's really good advice. I've managed to get a GP appointment on person today, which I was quite amazed at tbh
