Suffering From Excessive Hair Loss. Diagnosed With Hyperthyroidism. Any Remedy?
Hi, I am a 25years female. I have been experiencing excessive hair loss since last 6 years. I was detected with hyperthyroidism since 2007. But now my hair is just 1/4th of what i used to have. It was thick, straight and very silky. Though, my thyroid levels are under control, I am still losing hair. Its almost bald in the front and the crown. I was on homeopathy for a while. Still, things were not improving. So what should I use or do now?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hair loss is a common symptom encountered with thyroid dysfunctions .
Treating the thyroid problem will surely put an end to the hair fall too.
Do apply MINOXIDIL 5% solution to the scalp , this improves the circulation to the hairs and help in growth and health.
Wish you good health.
