Hair fall and facial hair
I am 31, have Hypothyroidism for 4 years now, My TSH level was around 6.5, 4 months back. I am taking 100 msg thyronorm. But recently I have hair loss problem since then, doctor prescribed me biotin tablets, but I want to know is that the only solution? Though the tablets stop my hair loss when I take them regularly, once I stop it the problem reappears. Also, lately I have observed facial hairs on my entire face and acne. I never had acne problems in my entire life. please suggest what to do.

There are many reasons for hair fall. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
