Help! Hair loss and burning scalp

I recently paid to see a dermatologist privately who said I’m suffering with all over thinning and diagnosed Androgenic Alopecia which he said is genetic and prescribed Minoxidil in tablet form twice daily.

I also have vitiligo and alopecia and Jak 2 inhibitors are helping people with those conditions. My dermatologist just recommended talking to my MPN specialist about this drug? I just recently started Pegasys for my PCV.

Endometrial Biopsy

Hello, I had a biopsy done yesterday due to the thickness of my womb. I was wondering if anyone else has had this done and how long the results took on nhs? Also does this show endometriosis?

What should I do with medication increase / change? Labs are below. Please help !!!

EDIT: thank you all for the responses. What I’ve decided to do, since I’ve ran out of Armour anyway. So I’ve switched to nature throid capsules (that don’t have fillers in them.) my doctor friend sent me about 105 days worth of these so I mine as well try them and see if they work better than Armour

So fed up with hair-loss from Armour

I guess this is part question: part post. Firstly, I’m SO incredibly fed up with the extreme hairloss from Armour. I know it’s from the Armour because, 1- hairloss is one of the main side effects of the Med. 2: the hair loss started immediately upon starting the medication in October. I have photos

Limited UK Treatment

Women don’t want a smooth skinned man, let alone one with my admittedly fairly androgynous face, even before alopecia Alopecia. With COVID, I highly doubt new treatment will accelerate. I am at a point now where I just feel like there is no hope.

Hair loss treatment

I started losing hair in my late 20s which most family and friends thought was strange considering there isn't any baldness at all on both sides of family. It was also in my late 20s when my constipation, brain fog, symptoms were really getting to me. I've never thought too much about it till I heard

Hair Thinning 😥! Any success stories and tips?

My hair is increasingly thinning and after a trip to the hair salon today, my hairstylist told me she can see a marked difference in how thin my hair is now 😔😪. I have noticed myself and so I've been using curling tongs to try and give it volume, but she says the heat makes it worse. She did suggest

Good Morning, I had my Gp ring me telling me on these results I'm overmedicated another long conversation again!

Symptoms endo

Has anyone suffered from hair thinning or hair loss with endo? I’ve started taking biotin to help but apparently I have to take vitamin B with it? Does it make a difference?

Help and advice please

Hi, I’ve just recently noticed hair loss patches, one behind my ear and another back of my head. When I phoned my GP he didn’t seem too concerned and told me was down to stress and I should expect more bald patches. Not too helpful and made me feel even more anxious. I spoke to worker in Holland
