Hair loss on head eyebrows and pubic area

I am a 22 year old male. 12 months ago I had very healthy growing hair although there white hairs because of probably asthmatic allergy. About that time I started using hair colour. After the second time I applied hair color I noticed hair fall (20-30 hairs per day). But I ignored since I had plenty of them and there was no considerable changes. Till past 2 month there was no noticeable change in my hair density. It was only from the past 2 months that the intensity of hair loss has increased and I am loosing 50-60 hairs per day and now I can see density of my hair decreasing fastly( only the frontal area). I also started loosing hair from eyebrows and pubic area every time I take shower. Every time I pass my hand through my head I get atleast 1-4 hairs. Even dandruff is not leaving although I stay very clean and take regular shower even in winters. Note- head hair loss only on the frontal part.

Hello What you seem to be having is alopecia universalis in which the entire body hair are lost. It is the most severe form of all alopecia and is currently believed to be an autoimmune disorder. There is no standard treatment of this disease but immunomodulatory agents such as imiquimod are very helpful. You should discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
