I have had C-diff for 8 months and my hair is falling out significantly. My husband also just deployed for a year in June. I have a lot of stressors. I also have been using nicorette lozenges for about 10 years.  Could the lozenges actually be making my hair fall out? If so, will it grow back?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Nicotine is a vast constrictor, and it decreases circulation to hair follicles and is considered a definite risk factor for hair fall. So yes, Nicoletta lozenges can cause hair fall. Psychological and physical stressors are again contributory factors to hair fall. Vitamin supplements containing biotin, calcium pantothenate and minerals for a duration of at least 3 months will help along with stopping nicotine. Biotin rich foods are carrots, almonds, walnut, cucumber, cauliflower, milk and eggs. Eggs also have protein and amino acids required for hair growth. Hope this helped, Take care.
