Hi all, I’m not sure if I’m posting correctly or in the right place but I figured I’d start here. I’m 38(M). I started experiencing hair falling out all over (but mostly on top) at around age 29. It hasn’t gotten terribly worse but hasn’t gotten better. I’m under a lot of physical stress (I have Lupus and other health conditions) and mental stress. I don’t know if I have Male Pattern Baldness as it’s on neither side of my family, but I’ve also never been tested. 

I haven’t taken Minoxidil as I have a heart condition and got palpitations from it in my 20s before any results could appear. 

For the last two-three months I’ve turned to more natural remedies because I figure it couldn’t hurt. I’ve been doing scalp massages every single day to increase blood flow and have been using Rosemary oil (I know, but I figure I’d try it). I’ve also been using Nizoral as my scalp would get extremely inflamed - to the point of feeling like it was on fire and unbearably itchy. The fiery feeling and itching have completely stopped since shampooing with Nizoral which has been amazing. 

My MAIN question, I guess, I’m asking is - is this new growth of breakage? These tiny little light sprigs have popped up on my crown, temples and front hairline. They weren’t there before a few weeks ago. I’ve been eyeing my hair for years now and have never seen it like this. 

Need advice on new hair growth or breakage?
