Graying and severe hair fall at the age of 17
Hi I am a 17 year old girl with a severe hair fall problem.It all started back in 6th grade when my mom noticed a few strands of grey hair.But now almost 75% of my hair have turned grey.and there is almost a bald patch right on top. I have had tests for thyroid and the report was normal.Although a urine test indicated some abnormality. And i also get cramps on the lower right side of my abdomen sometimes along with a discharge. Can this be related to my hair problem? Please Help. I have already contacted 3 other doctors ,but in vain.

Hi!
Welcome to Healthcaremagic forum,
Graying of hair is called CANITIES & patchy hair loss is called ALOPECIA AREATA.Foe canities you should take calcium patothenate (100mg) daily...which is there in keraglo forte.For alopecia areata the treatment of choice is injection over the site of steroid ..along with minoxidil sol 5% locally....I dont think your stomach problem be associated with your hair problem...but if you have malabsorption then that may lead to graying of hair.Alopecia areata i a autoimmune condition ,so one should rule out other auto immune condition too.So consult dermatologist for proper treatment.
take care,
Dr.chawda
