Hair loss - Which type of doctor to see?

Goodness we have the very same situation... I have consulted the doctor snd she told me it had been also because of engaing in a very strict diet... because I wanted to immidiately get rid of my fats .. I didn't eat much... the doctor said a lot of nutrients had been lost that caused my hair to fall a lot... believe me.. I flt like I'm in a chemo session...but then My hair is beginning to grow back I used BIO HAIR the one I saw in the TV at first I was hesitant... but thank God it helped!

The relevant question to ask is how long after your last pregnancy you feel you started loosing more hair than you normally should. At your age it would be inappropriate to think of you undergoing a menopause, though any complications occurring during labor can have serious effects on blood hormonal levels during later life. Do you think your health condition has changed in more ways than just you loosing more hair after your last pregnancy? You have also indicated your scalp being affected by some sort of dermatological condition. Is there any hardening of the affected skin? Does a similar condition affect any other area of your body such as elbows, knees and other pressure points? Do you have a family history of "Psoriasis"? It would be difficult to advise any thing prior to a proper interview and physical examination. My best advice therefore is to get an appointment with a family physician, though you are most welcome to post any further questions for me.

I do not have first hand experience with this, but I would start with my family doctor, then ask about a referral to the dermatologist, due to the condition with the red spots and sensitivity. Make sure that you get plenty of vitamins A,D,E and B complex. Let us know what you find out.

If I was you, I would start with your regular doctor. He/she might be able to figure it out. And if they can't, then I am sure they can refer you to a specialist for that. I am sorry that this is happening to you and I hope you get it solved soon.

The tightness of the ponytail would be a big lightbulb moment for me during hair loss. Anyway, here is a site that could give you information about your case and then say what kind of doctor to see if you still feel the need for one. Good luck finding the information that will help you. http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/hairloss/HL_causes.html
