My hair has been falling out for the last 5 months quite rapidly, there is no male pattern boldness in my family. My doctor thought it was a fungal infection and have been using anti-fungal shampoo for 6 weeks now, the hair loss has slowed but Im still losing 20-40 hairs a day. I only wash my hair twice a week and use shampoo high in zinc.Im also on tetralysal tablets for acne treatment, my acne has pretty much cleared up now but was wondering if this medication could cause hair loss? or whether a change in my hormones meaning no more acne could be the problem?There are no bald patches its jsut generally thin all over, I am having a bllod test on Monday to se if im low on zinc in the blood.Any thoughts or suggestions?Thanks
Hi, You may be having halogen effluvium, probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some cause like anemia, vitamin deficiencies, minerals deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, stress, anxiety, sleeplessness or some internal diseases. After thorough examination and investigations, your doctor may come to some conclusion. You may take biotin tablet. Take vitamin E. Apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp. Do shampoo daily with herbal shampoo. Apply almond oil after Chat Doctor.  Take proper sleep. Take nutritious food. Do exercise and yoga regularly. Keep the mind cool.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
