Severe hair loss at very young age
Namaste doctor. Im siddhu from visakhapatnam and my age is 18. I have been losing my hair since 3 years and my frontal hair is almost gone bald. I used minoxidil along with logihair capsules as per my local dermatologist for 6 months. But after discontinuing it, all my regrown hair completly dissapeared. Now my hair at sides and middle are also thinning especially at front. Crown area is somewhat normal.   Recently i have tested my thyroid and i got t3 level low(0.67) out of 0.8 to 2.0 Im soo depresed due to my baldness at front and im sure i dont want temparory results like minoxidil. I request you to study the above details and suggest me good and permenent treatment for my overall scalp so that i can acheive fuller hair on my scalp without any baldness. Thanks in advance.

Nothing to do with thyroid. You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Please call me or  contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
