Suggest medication for hair loss
Patient: I have been losing hair on and off for 5 years. The condition was more severe 5 years ago where I lost about 60% of my hair. It did grow back back not as full and thick as before and ever since, I've been finding I lose twice as much hair than expected when I wash my hair. Prior to this - I would say about 6 years ago I lost my father to cancer. I wash my hair every other day. I am 40 years of age. Do you have any idea what my condition could be?
