What Causes Hair Fall And Thinning?
My Endo prescribed Armour in December. It s been 5 months now and I m taking 60 mcg daily. He told me to come back and see him in a year. I definitely have more energy now, memory is better, and pain in ears and under jawline and neck is gone. Problem is my hair is still falling out in patches on top of head and thinning in other areas. Also my body temp is always 1 degree lower than it should be. Is this a sign that my dose needs to be increased? Is there hope that my hair will stop falling out? Help!

Hello,
I have gone through your query and would recommend you to apply minoxidil 5 per cent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily and take hair supplements containing biotin once daily. This needs to be continued for 4-5 months to see significant results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
