Dystrophic hairs

[Dawid]

HI there.
Does anyone have problem with dystrophic hairs. The one in the photo attached is from my beard (not from the head because i'm bald) but I have more of that kind all over my body. There's not many of them but I know they are a sign of health problems. I suspect some deficiences but did anyone experience similar problems and what could be a cause?

I know nothing in this subject, but since nails are similar to hair I wonder if it might be a fungal problem?

“If you have dystrophic nails, your nails might look thick, oddly shaped or colored yellow or brown. Usually, these nail changes happen because of a skin condition or infection.”

Dystrophic Nails: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

Dystrophic nails are nails that are deformed, thickened or discolored. These nail changes can be a sign of another medical condition, so treatment is needed.

Me.

I had this.
Posted on it- with no conclusions.
This was several years ago.

So-
Since then; meaning, since ive healed-
I no longer have these wirey, kinked hairs.

My guess:
It’s a metabolic issue vs “mineral” issue.

Thanks for your response but that would mean that I have fungal problem on all over my body which I don't think I have.

Thanks but what do you mean by saying "It’s a metabolic issue vs “mineral” issue."?

In your OP you mention deficiencies.
I assumed you were referring to mineral.

Now I get it:) I was referring to deficiencies as a whole namely minerals and vitamins. You mentioned you haven't had that problem since you'd healed. Were your health problems related to poor metabolism or was it something else?

Yes. Correct.

Very very energy deficient.
Low thyroid
Low metabolism

Im sure vitamins and minerals come into play
But probably secondary or tertiary

Just a hunch

Thank you it's very helpful. I've suspected I have low metabolism but thanks to your response I'm now convinced that this is the cause of my problems.

Have you had facial x-rays around your beard area?

No I haven't. But I have this kind of hairs not only on my face but on all over my body.

Is it possible that the body might be trying to detox heavy metals from the body, by pushing them out through newly-created hair follicles?

Compared to normal body hair, they are black and super-long. If you have the hairs analyzed for metal content, it might possibly reveal something interesting.

That's a good point but I think it's because of my low metabolism.
