How Can Severe Hair Loss For A Year Be Treated?
My family doctor said I should see a dermatologist for my hair issue. I have always had long hair and in the past year I have watched it disappear. My stylist says I have new hair growth but yet there is no length showing it. I also have several different layers that I I d not have put in my hair. It looks awful.

Hi
I presume you are a female but you have not mentioned your age and other relevant medical history which may have a bearing. I presume you have a normal menstrual history and do not have a hormonal problem like thyroidyou have chronic telogen effluvium with acute episode superimposed since 2 monh due to crash dieting and irregular dietary intake. I would advise you to take regular nutritious diet with proteins and micronutrients wit lots of fruit and vegetables. Also do take iron and calcium supplements. You canuse sodium laureth sulfate shampoo with conditioner for gentle cleansing andwashyour hair every other day. Donot use harsh treatments likehot combing and straigtening. You can also use Minoxidil 2% lotion lotion locally at bed time.Haircut has no impact on hair fall hich needsto be treated
