Age 35, female - what can I do against my pattern hair loss? (Photos)

Question

I have a burning scalp and my hair is thinning. I have lost volume and as you can see, I am balding on one side. Dermatologist: "It is not so bad just use hair oil off the counter " Trichcologist: "You have buildup wash your scalp with clearing shampoo three times a week" I stopped using hair products and only shampoo and condition my hair. As I havw very dry hair I only shampoo once a week. I colour my roots evwry 6-8 weeks as I am already grey/white (35F).

Hello! As a woman hair transplant surgeon myself, I can relate tto what you are feeling. I would recommend you have a blood test to check if your hormones and other things are functioning properly. After that, I would think a stem cell therapy session would help your issue. If nothing works, hair transplant is always an option. However, the thinning can be solved many times without a hair transplant.

Hey I have read your question and have also seen your photos, your hair is very dry, so you can use any non-sticky oil for this, but keep in mind that you should apply it only on the hair and not in their roots to do another shampoo daily. There is no problem, it is a matter of your empty scalp where there is no hair, but you can get a hair transplant done, it will hat the problem of your gap, but we cannot change the property of your hair, it will remain like this, hope you are satisfied with my answer thank you.

None of these are likely to do much. The first step is to get a formal diagnosis. You really need someone to examine your scalp up close to diagnose the reason precisely for your burning. There are about 12 reasons for scalp burning. Sometimes a biopsy is needed. Your hair loss looks “mild” to doctors because of the wave and curl you have in your hair. I appreciate that it may not feel mild to you. There is a patch of hair loss in midline area that needs proper trichoscopy examination. It could be just the way you parted your hair or it could be the lighting. However, this needs expert evaluation. Please see a hair loss expert. A biopsy could be needed and your doctors can decide on that after a full review.
