I am a 30 year old female & over the past 6 months have noticed my hair noticeably thinning & my head sweats excessively. can this be a tyroid issue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair: Yes, thyroid issues may cause hair loss and you should ask your doctor to measure thyroid hormones and thyroid antibodies. If they are all normal I would recommend an appointment with a dermatologist.
