First we need to confirm the diagnosis. Often female pattern hair loss (FPHL) can be diffuse Alopecia Areata (AA) or scarring alopecias in disguise. If it is FPHL, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a procedure that gives good results. It can be combined with anti-androgen therapies (such as spironolactone) for better results.
Next Steps
Get a blood test evaluation for FPHL. You may require a trichoscopic examination or scalp biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
Health Tips
Get treated ASAP as FPHL can lead to total baldness.
