HI
Thank for choosing HCM
systemic cause of hair thinning need to be ruled out, you have to go for complete thyroid profile, and also get done the blood glucose test, meanwhile you can mange this condition with the diet, you have to eat more leafy vegetable you can also take the extra supplement of vitamins, have fresh fruits too, stop using soap or shampoo, do not use hair dryer, if you are going to take care of your hair in this way then you would get nice results, because medicine has got no role unless some systemic cause is there, hope this answer would be helpful to you take care and have nice day.
