Suggest remedy for hair loss
Patient: I was on Trinessa (birth control pill) to stop my profuse bleeding (I was told it was due to hormones) since last year (4/26). I ve recently stopped taking it (last month) because I thought the bleeding would stop (and it did--thank GOD!). However, since taking this pill I ve had major hair loss every time I wash, condition, and comb my hair (I always use my fingers). It usually is about two 50 cent pieces worth of hair. I usually get a shower 2 -3 times a week. I also take 5,000 mg of Biotin and a multi-vitamin every day. Will this help with the hair loss? How long will it take for me to stop seeing lots of hair fall out? Doctor: Hi,  I have gone through your complaints and you seem to be having hair loss related to hormonal changes.  You can continue with Biotin and multivitamins.  Also, apply Minoxidil lotion to the affected areas of the scalp. It will take around 4-5 months for hair loss to settle.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney,  Dermatologist
