What Causes Severe Hair Loss On The Upper Half Of Scalp?

For the last year and a half my hair has been falling out constantly...all day long. I ve lost 1/2 to 2/3 of what I had at the beginning of 2014. I had thyroid cancer in 2011 and have been on a synthroid med. the doctors at MDAnderson monitor my levels and say all is within normal range. I went to a dermatologist and she said that s first they have to test my thyroid. If it s that then she can t help me. She said the results came back and I needed to see thyroid dr. Vicious circle. The bulk of hair loss is in upper half of scalp. I m getting so thin and don t know where to turn.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the reason of hair fall is endocrine dysfunction then it may take some time to come around till then "Minoxidile 5 % " lotion can be tried, try to stay away from stress, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
