A member asked:
I am currently losing my hair due to hypothyroidism, will it grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if treated: If your thyroid level is returned to normal by the correct amount of brand name T4 replacement, the hair will return to normal, but may take many months. It's not lost, only breaking off at weak places in the hair shaft.
