My hair started falling out a lot; could it be stress?

The follower says she is afraid of going bald and asks if it could be a reflection of the tests

Doctor, my hair started falling out a lot. I’m afraid of going bald. Do you think it could be due to the stress of exams at school?

It is important to remember the following: Everyone loses strands of hair every day. On average, we lose 100 to 200 hairs every day.

If this loss eventually increases too much, either in the number of hairs, or in the intensity or duration of the loss, it is very important to consult a doctor, a dermatologist, to understand what is happening.

Some things can increase this hair loss. You say it’s exam time at school, with a lot of stress. And yes, stress can interfere with our defense system, our immune system, and trigger a response that ends up damaging hair follicles. This leads to an increase in loss and slows down the growth rate.

If this happens, if you have noticed that you are more stressed and that this stress is affecting your health and that of your hair, it is very important that you: 1) try to control your stress, understand the impact it has on your health life and learn to manage this stress.

2) if it is a problem that worries you, consult a dermatologist. Together with you he will research some causes and provide you with some possibilities for change, such as, for example, a healthier diet, better sleep quality, regular physical activity, stress management, which will have an impact on your health.

3) furthermore, a dermatologist can check if you suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, an increase in fat on the scalp which can lead to the formation of dandruff and can also promote hair loss. Therefore, it is very important to consult a doctor in this situation.
