Androgenic hair loss
I've added another link which describes another type of hair loss called cicatricial
alopecia
which I think is also important.

Results back need advice please
However, I am experiencing hair shred quite badly, have seen a hair specialist and was told its
Alopecia
but lotions and potions do not seem to be stopping it. I was wondering what to do next re medication if it is the TPA results.

Lupus and hair loss/thinning
Hey Guys My hair started to think back in January this year, no legions though. I started taking Hydroxychloroquine Back in March but do far it’s not helped. Anyone had any luck with stopping or reversing the hair loss? I’m finding this quite stressful atm. Thanks in advance Nicky

T4 thyroid meds = alopecia
Does anyone have
alopecia
that they think may have been initially caused by being prescribed the wrong thyroid medication? I am convinced my problems all started 5 months after taking this drug and think it made me more hypothyroid/hashimotos.

Have I got Alopecia?
After going for my regular hair cut yesterday, my barber pointed out that I had a patch in my hair missing, and said it may be alophica. I was aware of my hair thinning, and receding as it runs in the family. However I was not expecting to be told I may have alophica. What are anyone’s thoughts on

Biotin n blood test
Hi can I just ask n confirm I'm right in leaving off my B complex a week before thyroid blood test as it has 300ug biotin which I took 2 times a day I have been on this b complex for 2 years nearly so I'm hoping the biotin is out of my system and I'm getting correct results

Child hair loss continues
Her Endocrinologist (from GOSH) says it’s probably stress from 3 months prior to starting Levo and her functional dr has said it may be
Alopecia
. I myself, do not agree with any of this. It started 4 weeks into treatment, she has had 3 dosage changes and the loss continues.

Does anyone have Discoid Lupus that has caused permanent scarring and alopecia?
Be lovely to hear from anyone who suffers similarly (particularly women like myself as I feel there is little help from the male consultants with regards to female
alopecia
). Thank you :)

Malar Rash?
My maternal grandmother has Lupus and two of three of my siblings had autoimmune disorders (
alopecia
and eczema). I’ve started researching recently and found one of the tell tale symptoms is the Malar rash.

Hair loss
For 30 years I’ve had mild hair loss due to lupus and all the drugs I take. I accepted that. When I developed severe depression, I suffered more hair loss particularly on the crown. I accepted that. When my menopause started hair loss was a feature, but as it’s common and lots of women I know have it

Diagnoses psoriasis PPP.
Hi all, I've recently been diagnosed with palmar plantar pustulosis and I am waiting for PUVA PHOTOTHERAPY, could be waiting 3-4 months due to backlog. The skin specialist thinks it's linked to me having Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnoses 9 years ago.

Hypo symptoms with normal blood results?
My original dr said it was simply
alopecia
and refused to do bloods. I suffer from lots of food allergies and IBS so I suspected might possibly be autoimmune related. After changing dr, they ordered a full blood panel and everything came back in normal range.

Hair loss
My dr switched me to Synthroid instead of Levothyroxine because I’m losing my hair. If this is the cause of my hair loss, how long before I notice a difference? Thank you

Telogen effluvium
Hi Julie This is my first post too . I totally understand how you feel . I have been suffering severe hair loss . My hair which was lustrous is now less than 1/10 th of what it was . Painfully thin and continuing to shed . It’s telogen effluvium and I think possibly stress is the cause. I sincerely
