Hair loss. Something one would usually associate with old men or chemo patients. Not something you would link to an 18 year old girl who is healthy in every way.
For the past 3 to 4 weeks I've been suffering from hair literally just falling out of my scalp. And to date I've lost about 65-75% of my hair. At first I just thought it was stress. So I tried to stop, but it's hard not to stress when you're hair is falling out when you're a young woman. I went to two different doctors on the Gold Coast and had a blood test. Nothing. Hair still falling out. Still trying not to stress.
Made an emergency trip to Bundaberg (yes, home of Bundaberg Rum) to see my doctor and within a second I had my diagnosis. Telogen Effluvium. - http://www.dermnetnz.org/hair-nails-sweat/telogen-effluvium.html
I will lose roughly 70% of my hair and it WILL grow back. It's from heavy medication I was on two months ago with my acute tonsillitis and from ceasing acne medication treatment twelve months ago.
I stress to anyone please think carefully before entering into any sort of prescription medication. Please research these medications as minomycin, steriods and hospital grade anti-biotics have subsequently made my hair fall out.
