Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall

Hello, I m a 35 year old woman with problems with my hair. My hair has started falling out and it has also stopped growing. I have a very healthy diet and I don t know what s causing this problem. I had my boods checked and they re all fine except I was told that I have a low white cell count. I m waiting too see a haemotologist. My periods are also very irregular and I feel tired all the time. I would be very grateful for your advice. Regards, Mary D

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
mam, as per your history you may have telogen effluvium due to iron deficiency anaemia. also, there may be a possibilty of female pattern hair loss.

since you have irregular periods, i would suggest you to consult a gynaecologist and get yourselves checked for hormones.

my treatment advise would be:
1. stop all hair cosmetics which may cause damage to your hair like hair spa, rebonding, straightening, hair gel etc.
2. take multivitamin once a day which include biotin, zinc, amino acids.
3. take a healthy diet containing green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits.
4. other treatment modalities can be topical minoxidil, finasteride, antiandrogen drugs, which has to be started only after consulting a dermatologist.
thank you.
