Default Whats wrong with my hair?

Some of the hair on the side of my head is quite easy to pull out, it's ridiculous ..

anything to worry about? anyone know what it could be?

People will say im going bald but the hair on top is fine, it's the bit at the side and bald people dont lose the hair at the side..

it sounds like your going bald.

its more common for the hair on the top to go first, but it isnt un heard of for it to go on the side first.

if your worried by it, id suggest going to your doctors, or ringing nhs direct, they always seem to get good reports from people on here.

Really?
Most of the people I see that have lost their hair still have the hair on the side of their head.

Well, I'll go to the docs in the morning then, if I am then Ill need some strong anti depressants to stop me from toping myself, I like my hair.

Alopecia I think is the name, usually stress related IIRC.

But I have got loads of thick hair, I thought MPB was gradual and on top, not clumps, and esp. not from the side?

But anyway Ill get to the docs and see what they say..

Might be slaphead, hell, what do women think about baldies then? Is that the end of my sex life?

You must be bloody joking. They are the biggest bunch of w@nkers on the planet - cause so many problems for us Ambulance staff. They are so quick to phone 999

'you've got toothache, we'll phone for an ambulance'

'Going bald? We'll phone 999'

And no - the toothache call wasn't made up...

IF you are going bald, do some research, Propecia will slow down your hair loss, and some form of minoxidle (both spg I think) will thicken your hair. I find Propecia slows down loss, but Regaine (minoxidle) is debatable.
Kam- all the best, a fellow slap head going-to-be.

22 is a somewhat early age for this to begin tho.

I think Ive got trichotillomania, it's where you pull your hair out, i always get the urge to pull on my hair, first it hurts then it goes numb.

its not MPB at the side anyway.

I was going to mention the hair pulling as this is the cause for going bald.
You're not yellow and look like Homer simpson I take it?

Other than that, do you also pull out your eye brows and lashes in moments of boredom?
