A member asked:

Gul iz ma 6yrz old daughter ....her hair iz falling quit alot. i had her blood test done...it waz normal....she haz no dandruff in herair?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endocrine: She needs to be seen. A thyroid gland not working well can cause that. She may also have a vitamin deficiency. Hair loss sometimes improves with the herb horsetail or a supplement called hair, skin, and nails. She needs to be evaluated though for the best information.
