Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss
sudden hair loss.
female,age 26, weight 120 lbs.
I've recently found out about my hair loss. sudden bald spot appeared on back of my head.
I am concerned because I've take plan B pills twice over 4 months period. I wasn't aware of the side affect until recently. How can I prevent more hair loss and how can I recover from the side affect? is there a cure?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM..
I feel that most probably you may be having alopecia areata.
Alopecia areat is an autoimmune skin disease characterised by bald patches on scalp. Exact cause is not known. You consult dermatologist and have firm diagnosis and treatment. Thyroid dysfunction should be ruled out.
I would like to suggest as follow..
- immunomodulator like levamisole 150 mg twice a week
- biotin 10 mg containing tab once a day
- apply methoxsalen solution on bald patches at night
- apply mild steroid lotion
- intradermal steroid injection...by expert dermatologist
I can understand your concern for baldness.Avoid anxiety and tension to have good result. Take regular and proper treatment.
Thanks..

HI
Well come to HCM
If you are female and just 26 years age and have hair fall, most likely cause would be fungal infection of hair this can be managed with Hair tincture and selenium shampoo, stop applying oil, use shampoo three time in week, take care ( Comment :- Some time hormone imbalanced may the cause of hair fall )
