I think that I am losing my hair but I am not sure why or what to do. I am 22 and recently changed my diet to eat healthily and I work out doing a lot of cardio at least 5 times a week. I've always had full, long brown hair about 2 inches past my shoulders at least but it's suddenly shorter and my hair is half the size in some places. I know that I am not eating enough for the amount I exercise which I find very hard to change as I have been obsessed with my weight for a long time and I am finally 3/4 months into consistent exercise.
I have gone through your query and would recommend you to get your haemoglobin, serum ferritin levels, serum vitamin B12 and serum vitamin D levels and thyroid function tests done to rule out any internal cause of hair loss.
Start applying minoxidil 2 percent lotion on the scalp twice daily and take hair supplements containing biotin once daily. You need to continue this for 4-5 months to see significant results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
