A member asked:

I am lyn 58 years old. i have had grey hair from a very young age. lately i am losing a lot of hair and it has become very thin. is thete anything i can do or use to fix this problem?

Hair loss: I would highly recommend you to discuss it personally with a physician. We have to determine the pattern of hair loss, scarring or no scarring, signs of infection etc. Some patients benefit from checking blood tests as well. The treatment is determined by the cause, patient expectations and side-effects mostly. Good luck
