Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
A year and 3 months ago, I was not showering much, and I was not using conditioner or shampoo, and when I did shower, I only used hot water. So, I lost a lot of hairs that had white bulbs at the end, which is something I have never seen. I cut off my hair but did not start taking care of it for the past 5 months. I have not noticed any regrowth of what I lost a year ago yet. I am kinda scared and I do not know what to do, but I am not losing anywhere near the amount I used to lose. Now I only lose what I think is regular amounts to shed.
Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
I am very sorry about your medical condition, and I am glad that you are paying attention to changes in your body system. But do not worry, I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, I believe you have developed alopecia. May I kindly ask you to send me a picture of the area where you lost your hair so that I can make a better prescription of what to use?
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.
Thank you.
