Hi doctor,
I am 21 years old and have extensive hair loss. The middle part of my head is almost bald. I am losing a lot of hair on the left. Currently, I have taken no medical help. I am also having black spots all over my legs and arms. Also, I have these little eruptions on my head and it is itchy. The hair loss has been since there since five to six years. I have started homeopathic medication.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The pattern of your hair loss is suggestive of hormonal etiology. Kindly mention if there is any family history of baldness in females. Mention if you are suffering from any thyroid disorders, have been on any crash diets, leading a stressful life or any other health issues. Kindly mention if you are having regular cycles. Hormonal hair loss can be exacerbated by all these factors too.

Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I have sinus. My grandmother went bald at the age 60. I was never on a crash diet, but academic areas need time. So, sometimes I have to skip dinner and breakfast. My hemoglobin is around 11.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Iron is essential for the growth of hair. I suggest you start on the necessary supplements for the improvement of the same.
