What causes hair loss along with receding hair line?
Patient: I am a 33 year old female with hair loss along the receding hair line of the scalp. In the past i have used hair color. Could this be a contributing factor, or should i maybe have blood work for thyroid tests? I also have anxiety and it has increased severity with my age progression. Doctor: HiThank you for asking HCMI have gone through your query. If you provide some more information then it will be more helpful. How is the pattern of hair loss? Is it more on crown and frontal area? Do you have increased facial hair growth?If yes then it can be most likely female pattern hair loss. In such case using minoxidil solution 2 % for long term use on scalp and capixyl gel will be helpful. You can also use ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione shampoo twice weekly. It is better to rule out hypothyroidism and anaemia by doing blood test - thyroid profile and haemoglobin levels respectively.Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.Thanks.
