I have noticed thinning in my hair at the top and along the from hair line. I am a 57 year old female. I take Azor for blood pressure and did notice some shredding when I first started taking it. I am also "addicted" to nicotine lozenges. If I stop the medication will my hair start growing back?
You seem to have telogen effluvium. There are many causes of telogen effluvium. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
After thorough examination and investigations,your doctor might give proper medicines. Nicotine addiction should be stopped immediately,which will improve your condition of scalp.
I would suggest...
- biotin 10 mg tablet once daily for few months - iron and B complex vitamins - vitamin E - apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp
Regular shampooing and oiling of the scalp might improve condition of hair structure.
