Question: I have thinning hair due to blood thinners. how to i get rid of thinning hair

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Blood thinners are unlikely to be the cause

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Could you please specify which blood thinner you specifically use? Let me assure you that blood thinners do not cause thinning of hair. It is apparent that you are having thinning of hair. I would need to ask if you have dandruff. In case you have, the thinning of hair could be due to a fungal infection of the scalp and application of ketoconazole shampoo like Nizoral can help.

I would be glad to receive the updates. Based on that I would be able to help you further.
