Okay, I'm just gonna run down the facts. I have OCD and I have a horrible fear of losing my hair. It's an on and off fear... dies down then it flares up again. I've posted on here before and my worries died down, but it's flared up again, and I've been checking my hair a lot. I also have seborrhoeic dermatitis and it makes my scalp pink, as opposed to white. My hair is also very fair.

Anyway, I've been using my laptop to take pics of my hair, and I've noticed like this 'strip' of hair that doesn't look as thick as the rest of my hair (you'll see what I mean), and my scalp stands out A LOT against the hair. I checked in the mirror and this 'strip' is non-existent in the mirror and my hair looks as thick as it always has. I decided to use a proper camera and take some pics, and it's made me even more confused. From the camera pics, this part am worrying about looks like a continuation of my crown? I dunno, but yeah. Here are the pics;

WEBCAM (these pics either had gel in, or I had just woken up):

And then... this is how my hair is naturally... no wax or anything. It sticks up on it's own naturally, and is very fluffy. This is how it's always been.

Sorry for posting all the pics, but am getting proper worried, and I don't know whether am worrying about nothing... as is the way with OCD :/.

Anyway, any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

How old are you? From looking at your photos your hair looks fine. The hair in the crown falls in different angles so at times it can look thinner than it really is. I do not think you have to worry at this time most people would love to have your hair.

Your hair looks fine to me, if the crown is thinning i would try Propecia and hopefully it will prevent any more loss and eliminate the need for a HT in the future. You could also try Minoxidil, either use both together or the one you feel will best suit your needs.

Hey Angel for MeDikemos, thanks for the reply. I asked this question on a couple of other forums, and they all pretty much gave the same reply as you did. Guess it's just my OCD making me worry :/.

I'm 20, nearly 21.
