Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss
Question: I am 23 years old and I have been suffering from hair loss for 4 years. I haven't seen a doctor till now. Now I feel that I need medical attention for regrowth of hair.
Brief Answer:
Please check for any specific cause for hair loss
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.
Please consult a dermatologist and get yourselves evaluated for hair loss. The usual tests they do are :
Thyroid function tests
Testosterone, DHEAS
Complete blood count
25 hydroxy vitamin D, B12
Serum iron, ferritin, TIBC
They will clinically evaluate you for any skin disease in scalp, dandruff, hair pluckability, hair density etc.
The treatment depends on the cause.
Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you
