Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall Due To Hypothyroidism

Hello sir, My name is Amruta, I am 26years old. From past one year I am suffering from hypothyroidism and because of that I am suffering from severe hair fall and premature graying of hair. Recently I have noticed receding hairline and most of the gray hairs are present in the right hand side of the scalp. As per my doctor she suggested me medicines for hypothyroidism and told me that it will address the hair problems also but day by day my hair loss and gray hair problems are increasing. So it will be helpful if you can suggest me whether I should visit a dermatologist or I should take some medicines. Thank YOU.

As per your case history of hair fall due to hypothyroidism, my treatment advice is -
