Hello,
I am a 22 year old female who has been had having problems with rapidly thinning hair. I only started noticing my thinning hair about a month ago. I can now pretty much see my scalp. I have noticed a lot of thinning on the top of my head and my part in my hair is growing wider. I did have serious dandruff for a couple of months prior to noticing my hair thinning. I tried both Selsun Blue and a generic T-Gel (although not at the same time) to combat the dandruff. I discontinued use of both the Selsun Blue and the T-Gel a few months ago when my dandruff seemed to have subsided. I am wondering if either of those cleaners or the dandruff could have caused hair loss. I do not use and have not used any sort of chemicals in my hair, such as coloring or perms. I also stopped blow drying my hair when I noticed my hair was getting thin. I consider myself to be in fairly good health. I have no recent traumatic events (with the exception of my hair loss) or elevated stresses nor do I have any hormonal imbalances that I am aware of. My scalp, with the exception of my hair loss, seems to be in pretty good shape. Not too much red or super itchy areas to speak of. As a young female, this has been very traumatic and I am looking for any answers you may have. Thanks.

 Hello,
Of course this is worrisome for you and it is not normal so you should see a dermatologist or endocrinologist. It is possible you have some problem with a gland that produces hormones so you need to be evaluated. Chances are they can help you with this.
Good luck,
Debbie
