Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss And Dry Skin
i am 21 years old, and for the past few months i've been loosing alot of hair and my skin is very dry on my face and scalp, i think its seborrhoeic dermatitis. i'm more concerned about the hair loss though, could it be a lack of iron, or over active tyroid?

Hello, yes, for a diffuse hair loss without a significant preceding history, u need a complete blood count and a thyroid profile done, if any abnormality appears on these, correction of those will rectify ur problem.
For the dry skin, use a good soap like dermadew soap for bathing and apply a good moisturiser like efatop-PE lotion post bathing.
Seborrheic dermatitis presents with itching and extensive flaking on the scalp, ears, nasolabial folds etc., if you have these problems, then consult a dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate management.
Thanks
Take care.
