Dear Freedoctorhelpline, I am an exchange student in Seoul South Korea, white male 22 years old. 2 weeks after having arrived in Seoul I felt tremendous amounts of hair on my pillow, shower, during styling with wax. At first, my hair started to get a lot thinner on the top of my scalp predominantly and crown. It gets so severe that I can see my scalp and start having bald spots. There is NO baldness in my family, I\’ve started to take more vitamins and B-complex but nothing seems to work. I am originally from Amsterdam, where the water is extremely soft on the contrary of Seoul where the water is extremely hard. I used to take 2 showers a day, one in the morning (just rinsing) and one in the evening with shampoo to get rid of my wax/hair product. These days I don\’t even style my hair anymore, because of the severe amount of hair I lose every time. Even the texture of my hair feels totally different from what I am used to. Today I went to a dermatologist, they took photos of my scalp and next week I have to come back so they can check it again.   I wonder what you guys might think? I have no diseases (known), allergies (known) and I do not take any medicine. I do sleep considerably worse these days and I also have diarrhea. The food here is low in nutritions, usually only rice and noodles with a bit of veggies/meat. So the past few days I\’ve been cooking for myself and have eggs each morning, broccoli in the evening for iron. My scalp also itched for a few days.   Hope you guys can help me out, I feel devastated.    Stephan
