Hi all,

This is my second time admitting that I am scared.  The first was to my doctor yesterday and I got scared when she actually opened google to find a trichologist in Ireland.  

I don't know what to do.  About a year ago I started to lose some hair from my left eyebrow.  I now have a few small sparse hair at lets call it the bridge of my nose than towards my outer eye I have a lot more hair that it looks kinda normal with eyebrow pencil there.  I have used protopic on my eyebrow but it hasn't helped. My doctor did my blood work a couple of months ago and it was fine.  At my appointment the other day, she wouldn't do it again because it was fine a few months ago.

I noticed my hairline thinning at the right side of head a few weeks ago.  But last friday, I had significant hair loss with what looked like a bulb attached ( since read that could be TE) than the following days I had a burning itchy sensation in my head.   Today, I have that burning sensation again along with a greasy area of my head.   This is the same part where by I am thinning.

I would dearly love to get my hair coloured as I don't think the grey hair coming through is helping the overall appearance of my hair to myself.  There is no bald spot yet, just grey / white hair.

I am going to make an appointment with a trichologist, the only one that I can find in Ireland but I suppose I have a few questions that maybe you guys can help with.  If not just listening to and me writing this down is helping.  Just getting to write this down and put my thoughts down and my fears is helping.   So, to get to my questions:

• Any one any idea what the hell is going on with my head / hair situation.  I have not lost hair any where else and I am confused as to why this is happening to me.
• Can I dye my hair?  Will it makes things worse?
• Should I get a second opinion from my doctor before seeing a trichologist?

I know that you guys don't have all the answers and I suppose the only way I can solve things is by going to see the trichologist or the doctor, but alittle reassurance would help me in some way. Ease my mind and make me feel like I am not going crazy!

I wanna thank you guys for listening to me and I want to thank you all for taking time to post to these forums in general, as for someone that has been lurking in the shadows for a while, your stories and courage have inspired me.
