Neck down alopecia.

And when I say neck down alopecia, I am of course referencing Tim Minchin's If I didn't have you (3:19).

 

I have been suffering some (lots) of hair loss for some time,  I knew it would happen, expected it, took extra water/zinc trying to help stave it off a bit...

Let's say I wasn't so worried because I inherited some Neanderthal genes from my father and have always had insanely thick hair, but now that i've been losing handfuls of hair for 6-8 weeks, I am starting to worry.  I expect my hair would now be considered normal - thin in density and every time I get out of bed it looks like a shedding chewbacca was sleeping in my spot...

 

So to the business, it makes sense that the hair loss would be everywhere, and not just on ones head.

 

How many people noticed fewer dulled razors or (god forbid) not having to shave at all anymore?

Possible TMI but my armpits seem as hairy as ever :(

I have been wondering the same thing... it hasn't seemed to affect any other hairy areas on my body.

That sounds less than promising :(

That sounds frustrating to deal with. Hair changes can hit confidence harder than people expect. Have you been able to consult a specialist yet? Some folks experiment with products from fragrancenet https://fragrancenet.pissedconsumer.com/review.html hoping topical solutions help, but underlying causes matter more. You're definitely not alone in this. Wishing you clarity and steady progress.
