I need help with my hair. I lost a huge amount of my hair in such a short time period. It started last year in january 4 months before the hair loss started, i'd gotten a dental surgery to remove my wisdom tooth with local anesthesia not general anesthesia. And this surgery left me with paraesthesia in my bottom lip, left cheek and gum, and my chin (lost total sensation in those areas), so I freaked out and cried about it everyday. I was taking a medication for nerve damage and then my sensation came back after 3 months, so I was finally able to relax again but then a month after, my mom pointed out that my hair is everywhere on the floor. I then started to notice that straightening my hair took so much less time and my pony tail was so much smaller. I started crying about this and googling why it's happening. I have a lot of regrowth now but a lot of my regrowth falls out and the part that concerns me the most is that some of the regrowth is very very very fine, some 8 cm long, some very short, other regrowth is very thick but also falls. Do you think this is androgenic alopecia, and if it is, how come my thick hairs that fell grew back in very very fine in such a short amount? Of time? Help I want my hair please. My period is normal.
