Brief Answer: Hypothyroidism may be responsible for hair loss. Detailed Answer: Hi, It seems that you may be having telogen effluvium. The cause would be hypothyroidism. There may be some other cause also. You should be investigated to rule out liver diseases, renal diseases or other internal diseases. It may be female pattern baldness too. You continue to take eltroxin for hypothyroidism. I suggest my patients like you to take biotin containing tablet like TAB. BIOT FORTE 10 mg once daily for long time. You may take vitamin E 400 mg once a day. Apply minoxidil 10% solution twice day on dry scalp. Shampoo with ketoconazole containing shampoo. Avoid stress and worries. I feel, you may get good result after 6 to 12 months...treatment. You may take treatment under observation of nearby dermatologist. I hope you got my answer. Still, any query, you may ask me. Thanks.
