A member asked:

What is the cause for thining hair, skin peeling/ cracking with itchness at both lower leg and cold extremities (since child). any solutions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on cause...: One's primary care doctor can check for medical causes. If none are found, then one can see a dermatologist, especially one specializing in hair restoration (some treatments: minoxidil, etc, ...). Medical causes may include: hormonal problems (low thyroid), seborrhea, alopecia areata, stressful illness. Other causes: genetic male/female pattern baldness, telogen effluvium.
