Hi,

You should get thyroid and sugar levels tested. Also replacement of zinc, selenium, calcium supplements alongside vitamin D3 and C for better hair growth may be helpful. If patches of hair are lost, you should get it examined again by another dermatologist for a second opinion to look for signs of alopecia areata or fungal infection. Topical steroid or minoxidil may be needed in such case. These measures should be sought earlier as if the patches scar to develop scarring alopecia, the hair growth will become difficult in those patches.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
