Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss And Brittle Hair

My daughter is experiencing hair loss and brittle hair, kidney stones, irregular periods. we have been to multiple doctors and some say puberty and some say stress but I know something else is going on. She has had approximately 20 kidney stones in 2 years (calcium oxalate) she has never had a normal period usually only has 1 or 2 a year. She has one breast that doesn t seem to grow. She has lost about half of her hair in the last couple months and whats left has started breaking off. I am wondering where to go next

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of severe hair loss and brittle hair which could be due to many reasons like improper hygiene, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes and systemic diseases.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you wash hairs after a proper massage with olive oil. you should consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order a blood test, skin patch test and can do a physical examination. The doctor may prescribe you a drug like finpecia at least for 2-3 months or antifungal treatment along with minoxidil spray. You should maintain complete hygiene. You should use Finasteride preparations. You should take supplements like Vitamin A, Omega-3 and Vitamin E.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
