What Causes Early Hair Loss?

Hello Doctor, I am a female aged 39 yrs. For the past 7-8 months I am noticing that the hair of my underarms & pubic region have become very light brownish & thin (it used to be dark black in colour & very thick in growth). I am seeing this trend in all the other parts of my body as well. I used to have very thick black hair on my scalp as well but now it has reduced to just 1/4 of what i used to have. This is worrying me a lot. Pl advice.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hair over the pubic area and underarms undergo some form of textural changes over years. So need not worry about that. If your hair over your head has also reduced it is important to find out the cause behind the same which is mostly multi factorial: hereditary/ poor nutrition/ weather changes/ stress/ hormonal changes/ products usage etc to name a few. I suggest you get it reviewed by the concerned doctor as they will go through your detailed history and guide you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
