I am losing a lot of hair. What treatment can I take?

Question

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.

Please help.

Answer 1

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

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.

Investigations to be done

Hemoglobin %.
Serum ferritin.
Thyroid profile.

Kindly mention if you are having regular cycles. Hormonal hair loss can be exacerbated by all these factors too.

Thank you for consulting me.
