A member asked:

I'm having issues with constant hairloss especially on top of my head. i'm a woman and the hairloss is out of control.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hairloss: Consult a dermatologist who will examine your scalp for pathology, tell you whether the hair loss may be permanent, check thyroid status,and family history. If no medical cause found, see a skilled beautician who will advise you about your hair status and best care techniques and products for you.
