I am 17 and I am losing chunks of hair?

So I am 17 and I am losing a bunch of hair!! When I get in the shower literally big huge chunks of it fall out. I have really thick hair and I've never had this problem before. I've been under a lot of stress lately...I am moving...and it's my senior year in high school and I am freaking out...can stress cause hair loss? What other things cause hair loss?I am 17 and I am losing chunks of hair?
If your hair is falling out, there could be several reasons. If your just losing several strands at a time, but not balding, I wouldn't worry too much. If that is the case, just try to relax, stress can lead to hair loss.





On the other hand, an important question is weather or not your scalp is sore, or in any way unusually tender. There are such things as scalp infections, and these can lead to massive hair loss. so if your losing chunks that leave bald spots or have unusual tenderness, I suggest consulting a doctor or dermatologist. If you also have dandruff, or your scalp feels ';tight';, this is another indicator.





Just beware that major scalp infections like the ones causing hair loss are high contagious, so if you think this is an issues, don't share hats, brushes or sleep in the same bed as someone. Hopefully, this isn't what you have.I am 17 and I am losing chunks of hair?
It could be Alopecia. Are you losing actual chunks, like there creating bald spots, or is it like just strands of hair? Because I tend to lose more strands of hair in the summer for some reason, but I think that's normal. Stress causes hairs to fall out too.

people might say cancer

Your hair could be falling out for many different reasons so do nothing until you see a dermatologist. By the way, an office visit typically costs around $75 if you don't have insurance.
Yeah stress causes hair loss!


So chill


It could be alot of other things too


Be careful that you dont have Alopecia or something


See a doctor ASAP
