Unexpected hair loss. Women. 28 years
A couple hours ago when I got out of the shower and combed my hair I noticed one side of my head a lot of hair missing. It looks as though somebody took a pair of scissors and gave me bangs throughout that side of my hair. The past week I’ve been sick with bronchitis and taking antibiotics and promethazine without codeine. I dyed my hair about three weeks ago but I’ve used this color and brand so many times before over the last six years without a problem

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. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription,
