What Causes Severe Hair Loss And Bruise All Over The Legs?

I have been losing my hair (alot), am tired, but can t sleep, bruises all over my legs for no reason, and I sweat at night but not during the day. I just had my Thyroid checked (my mom had Thyroid cancer with removal) but my results were normal (some were on the low side of normal though). I don t know where to go from here.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe hair loss and bruise all over the legs . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection and hormonal changes . In your case it seems to me that the the hormonal factor or fungal infection is responsible for hair fall. Bruise on leg can occur due to fungal infection , allergy or side effects of certain medicine . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique . Take Indian goose berry powder with water once a day and use olive for massage .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
