Do you also deal with hair loss problems?

Yes, I do: The causes for hair loss are numerous and depend on your gender, family history, medical problems, medications, stress level, habits, use of certain hair products, etc. If you have male pattern (genetic) hair loss, there are medications that can slow the process, but are not very effective at regrowing a significant amount of new hair.

ALOPECIA TX: Alopecia or hair loss may be multifaceted . You need full Exam &lab work up especially Vit d/Thyroid studies /TESTOSTERONE/ b12 and folate. If they are normal start high dose Biotin zinc B12 and folic acid.. Rogaine (minoxidil) and Propecia may be helpful. If there is no improvement consult dermatology for biopsy to rule out auto-immune ALOPECIA AERATA.. With supplements start at a Lo dose and work up.
