Dermatologist 's  Response
hello and welcome to health care magic.
regarding hypothyroidism it is essential that you get it treated as fast as possible. hair fall is primarily due to hypothyroidism and is reversible.
hair lotions do not have an important role to play.
either way it will not have any serious side effects.
thank you and wish you a speedy recovery.

hypothyroidism is partly responsible for hair fall and correction of thyroid hormones will reverse hair fall.
hair lotions may not have an important role to play, and they dont have side efffects.
