Can A Nursing Mother Use Morr Solution For Hair Fall Problem?
hello doc,
i am having hairfall problem since last year, recently i was prescribed Keraglow for women alongwith Morr 5% solution and scalpe shampoo.. i have purchase the Morr 5 % but the prescription inside had instructed not to be used by nursing mothers i have 20 months baby which i had told to skin specialist but still i have doubt whether to use it for not...pls reply me back whether i can start it coz i m still feeding my daughter.
The problem with my hair is there are big n small hard boils on my scalp as specially on top of my scalp which comes in group and are painful...they dries up twice or thrice a month but returns back...doc says they are heat boils but i doubt whether its n infection and when heat boils cause hairfall...pls reply me back coz i have purchased the medicine but had not started it since 1 month.

Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic
You seem to have what is called post partum hair loss. This usually starts in the third or fourth month postpartum and ends by six months. This is a temporary phase.
During pregnancy the increased levels of estrogens in your body makes your hair thick and lusturous, hair that would normally fall out stays put, resulting in thicker hair. After delivery when estrogen levels fall you start losing all those hair that were resting during pregnancy.
This temporary hair loss doesn't mean you're deficient in nutrition or vitamins, infact its hormonal.
I would advice to take a good healthy diet, continue with your Iron and calcium supplements and Vit D supplements till you are breast feeding. Take a high protein diet because hair is all protein(keratin).
Morr lotion is claimed to curb hair fall and stimulate hair regrowth. It should not be used by pregnant and nursing mothers.
Regarding the scalp bumps, there seems to be a bacterial infection of the hair follicles/folliculitis. If i was your treating doctor i would have put you on oral antibiotics (penicillin group, safe in pregnancy and nursing mothers)for a week, which should make it fine
take care
regards
