What Are The Symptoms And Cure For Mild Alopecia?
I am 55 years old, 5' 4" and weigh 135 lbs. I am menopausal and have been on hormone medication for 2.5 months. I am very concerned about my hair loss. I have always had a lot of healthy thick hair. i first noticed a patch of scalp which was thinning out, and in the last 6 months a larger section of scalp is thinning. I do not actually have bald spots where there is no hair, but the hair is only 30 percent of what it was prior. What are the symptoms of mild alopecia (is there such a thing) and what are your recommendations

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems you are starting with female pattern hair loss. Start with minoxidil 5 percent lotion on the affected areas twice daily along with hair supplement tablet for 4-5 months. This will help in regaining of hair.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
