Question: Who should I go to if my hair is falling out. I told my doctor about seven months ago and he told me to take vitamin D and I have been but it is getting worse and thinning out on top quite a bit. Every time I wash it or comb it, it comes out in strands.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
You need to consult a dermatologist for your hair problem.
According to your complaints you seem to have developed female pattern baldness.
It is usually treated with minoxidil 2 percent lotion twice daily.
It is a prescription drug and you need to see the doctor in person to get it.
