I went to my doctor she said that I have AGA, she prescribed minoxidil and told me that my hair can fall out in the beginning. I didn't start using it yet. I was thinking to buy some Hair supplements (vitamins) to increase the process of hair grow and to take them at the same time when I apply minoxidil. Should I do this? And I usually wash my hair with a hypersensitive shampoo every day, should I wash my hair less often since my scalp burns often? Thank you Doctors.

Answer: Treating Female Hair Loss Vitamin supplements are not necessary when taking Minoxidil and not guaranteed to promote hair growth, although taking them certainly wont hurt. The frequency of shampooing hair would not affect your hair loss rate. A burning sensation on the scalp is not usually associated with androgenic alopecia, you may want to consult with your dermatologist to treat that separately.

Answer: Hair washing The frequency of hair washing does not really affect things long term. Androgenetic alopecia is not usually associated with burning so be sure to clarify with your dermatologist what is causing that. If you are deficient in a vitamin, supplements are a great idea. However, if you are not deficient, it likely will not add much.

Answer: 25 year old female with hair loss The first step in evaluating hair loss in women, after a detailed history and physical exam, is to rule out any underlying medical causes of hair loss which can be treated. If clinically appropriate, the following disease processes should be considered: anemia, thyroid disease, connective tissue disease, gynecological conditions and emotional stress. Furthermore, over 50% of women going through change of life hormone fluctuations (menopause) experience significant hair loss. It is also important to review the use of medications that may cause hair loss, such as (but not limited to) oral contraceptives, beta-blockers, Vitamin A, thyroid drugs, coumadin, and prednisone. The following laboratory tests have been recommended to rule out the aforementioned medical conditions:
