Severe Hair Loss. Was Diagnosed With Lymph Node Tb. What Does The Findings Mean?
hi, I have a unique situation. I suffer from severe hair loss causing noticeable receding hairline since several years. last year I was diagnosed with lymph node Tb for which I took the prescribed medicine course of 6 months. During this time I had a drastic reduction in hair loss which has again started with vengeance. What could be the reason for this- I have read that TB medications generally cause hair loss

Hi
there are many reasons for hair loss.
They may be genetic,dietary causes.
There is no relation to Tuberculosis.
You did not mention the medicines you have taken for tuberculosis.
In my experience,i didnot come across a single case of hair loss due to TB drugs.
95% of hair loss is due to hereditary causes.
Please consult a dermatologist/physician and proceed accordingly.
Wish you good health
