Brief Answer:
persisting hairloss because of hypothyroidism
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Hairloss can persists even after proper treatment of hypothyroidism. Here is what I suggest
1. Hairfall upto 100 strands per day is normal and you don't need to worry about it
2. I suggest you to get a t4 and t3 along with tsh to know if hypothyroidism is under good control.
3. Wash your hair with a good shampoo according to the type of hair at least 3 times a week
4. Keep your scalp oil free and dirt free
5. Minoxidil topical application twice a day stops further Hairfall
6. continue vitamin supplements especially vitamin e
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
