The last 2-3 weeks, i have been regularly applying the minoxidil 2% solution 1ml twice daily on my scalp. I consulted another dermatologist who asked me to discontinue minoxidil as when one stops using minoxidil, they experience hair loss again. She instead prescribed the following: 1. Androanagen tablet. 1 daily for 6 months 2. Juene hair cream - twice daily for 6 months 3. Alpecin liquid - 2ml once daily for 6 months 4. Tricho gro gel - once daily (when i wash my hair) 5. Neogenic Shampoo

Answer: Female Hair Loss in a 23 year old Female hair loss in a 23 year old is unusual. It could be genetic and if it is, it is often present in the female family line (mother, sister, grandmother from either side of the family). Rapid weight loss can cause hair loss as well. There are many diseases that cause hair loss which should be evaluated as well including thyroid disease. These diseases can be evaluated by your family doctor by performing some simple blood tests including: Sex Hormone testsSHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) used to test status of male hormonesEstradiol is a sex hormoneFSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) *not hair follicle but follicle in the ovary*LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is a sex hormoneFree TestosteroneTotal TestosteroneANA (Anti Nuclear Antibody) used to test for Lupus or other autoimmune diseasesTSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) used to test for hyper or hypo-thyroid diseaseTest Iron statusTIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity)FerritinIron
