Question 1

can my hair grow back if i stop straightening it?

Accepted Answer

That : would depend on the amount of damage to the hair follicle.

Question 2

can my hair grow back from alopecia totalis?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Alopecia totalis is the most severe type of a skin condition that is thought to be autoimmune.  The prognosis is guarded.

Question 3

can my hair grow back after having poor blood circulation for months?

Accepted Answer

Wrong question: What is "poor blood circulation"? There is no such diagnosis. Whatever it is, why do you think it caused hair loss? A dermatologist will define the type of hair loss and help you with it. I have no advise about blood circulation because the term has no meaning.

Question 4

can my hair grow back after thyroid treatment?

Accepted Answer

Hair: I presume you lost your hair because of treatment of a thyroid cancer. Is that correct? If so your hair may not grow back but attractive wigs will make you look gorgeous again. Go for it!

Question 5

is there any vitamins i can take that can help my hair grow back from hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Try biotin: Over the counter biotin can be helpful.  Consider an examination with your primary care doctor to rule out other medical issues leading to hair loss.

Question 6

i scratch my head a lot, now i have bald spots on my head about the size of a nickel how can i make my hair grow back?

Accepted Answer

Try Rogaine (minoxidil): plus 3x/week use Head and shoulders shampoo: leave on 5-7 minutes then rinse off. I would suggest a dermatology consultation to rule out a fungal scalp infection.

Question 7

previously i had been pulling my hair literally , like from the roots, and now i had focal hair loss. what can i do? will my hair grow back? help!

Accepted Answer

See derm: It should get better if you leave it alone. See dermatologist if it does not.

Question 8

i am experiencing excessive hairloss. i am on ravalef and one of its side effects is hairloss. is it the reason for my hairloss? do i need to consult a doctor? or is there something i can do to make my hair grow back?

Accepted Answer

You need a consult: There is no much evidence on leflonamide and reversible Hais loss, but the few documents on this say that to avoid Permanent hair loss, is adequate to suspend and Changue leflonamide for another drug, so see it with you rheumatologist.

Question 9

how can i get my hair to grow back? when i was young i bust my head on the ground and it was a big knot then i lost hair in the spot i hit my head

Accepted Answer

Dunno but...: You should have a dermatologist take a careful look and he may want to take a biopsy to examine your tissues under a microscope. He may want to inject your scalp with a steroid depending on the findings. You will proceed from there.

Question 10

i had trichotillomania for 6 years , thank god  now i don't pull my hair anymore. but i don't know how can i grow my hair back ? oils ? vitamins ?

Accepted Answer

Trichotilomania: Your hair should grow back on its own.  How long ago did you stop pulling it out?  Best wishes to you.
