Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss When Diagnosed With Hypothyroidism And Discoid Lupus

Hello Dr. I had been diagnosed with hyperthyrodism and then it switched to hypothyrodism. I take thyroid medication for this. In addition, I have suffered hair loss and a dermatologist told me I had a discoid lupus. At the present moment, I don t have insurance and the hair loss is severe at the top of my scalp. What kind of treatment and doctor do you recommend for this so my hair can grow back?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hair loss on the top of scalp. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetic factor, stress, fungal infection , covering head with cap and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique . Take Indian goose berry powder ( half spoon ) with water once a day and use almond oil.
