Suggest Remedy For Hair Loss

Hi, my name is Hillary, and I am 13. First off, I would like ro say that my diet has stayed the same, my exersize has stayed the same, and I have had no medication besides shots over the last two years. I got my first period a little over a year ago. And I have been losing my hair. Not in clumps, just random strands, I guess. It has been happening for about two months, and I think I am looseing about 2-3 times the normal hair loss amount. I used to put my hair up in a tight ponytale sometimes, but I stoped when my hair loss started. I only sometimes curl my hair with heat, but not anymore. I got it cut about a month ago, thinking the length was the issue. It wasnt. If you have any other questions that would help with my possible diagnosis, I will answer them. Please help me!

P.S. I have always had healthy, think hair, and it is slightly curly.

Hello.

I have gone through your query and would recommend you to get your thyroid function tests, hemoglobin, serum ferritin levels and serum vitamin D levels checked as thyroid disorder and anemia are the most common cause of hair loss in females.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
