Brief Answer:
Further assessment is required.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

Hair changes in your case need further evaluation .

This consists of assessing your thyroid and blood iron status, as derangements in both can cause such disturbances in hair.

For this I advise you to get a complete thyroid profile and complete hemogram levels.

Further management if any is largely based on test results.

Meanwhile, I advise you to take tab oral pills XTRAGLOW, one pill a day at bedtime,which contains Biotin very much necessary for hair quality improvement.

Please check with your physician if he sharesxmy view and if can prescribe these pills to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
