What are the potential causes of chronic hair shedding lasting over seven months in a patient with no significant medical history, and what are the recommended diagnostic steps and treatment options when nutritional supplements and alternative therapies have failed to show improvement?

Asked by Female, 26 · 10 days ago

Shedding lasting over seven months is often due to telogen effluvium (triggered by stress, hormonal shifts, or a past illness) or early female pattern hair loss. To find the exact cause, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can evaluate your scalp and order blood tests to check your thyroid, iron (ferritin) levels, and hormones. Once diagnosed, highly effective medical options like topical minoxidil can be considered.
