Answer 1

Hello-

To begin with, it's critically important to establish a firm diagnosis for your situation. You should start with your PCP but probably a referral to an endocrinologist familiar with female hair loss & related disease processes would not be a bad idea. This specialist will want to rule out a number of disorders that present hair loss among their symptoms. Such ailments including thyroidopathy, lupus erythematosus and even parasites have been known to present hair loss among their symptoms. In some persons there is even a hair loss disorder called trichotiolomania that is primarily caused by a compulsive behavioral problem.

Another factor that can definitely influence the density of scalp hair is one's genetic identity. In susceptible individuals of either sex, certain hormones trigger the negative hair growth program which ultimately results in pattern hair loss. However, while certainly not unknown, pattern hair loss in a 23 year old young lady is fairly atypical.

Now that we have laid the ground work for some (but definitely not all) of the factors that can bring about hair loss we should briefly touch on ways to address the problem specifically.

There are a number of pharmaceutically derived drugs that are specifically available depending on the type of hair loss diagnosed. Some work better than others, again depending on one's situation. Those drugs include minoxidil, diazoxide, finasteride, flutamide and others. Your treating physician will be the best source for information on which of these, if any, will be sensible for you to try.

Another option is non-drug based therapy. There are a number of non-drug based botanical therapies on the market today, some of which have been positively tested under scientifically-stringent conditions. Since I am intimately involved with one of these products, my opinion is necessarily biased. However, I would suggest relegating your scrutiny to those treatments, either drug based, or naturally-derived, that can support their claims with peer-reviewed medically published data.

Finally, once you determine what is causing your hair loss and decide to begin treatment, I strongly recommend the use of monthly progress photos of the affected region of your scalp. Take baseline photos before you begin treatment. Then take monthly follow up photos so you can see how your hair is responding.

Before you undertake treatment of any kind you need to determine exactly what is causing your hair to thin. Once you know exactly what is causing the problem you stand a much better chance in choosing the most appropriate treatment. In all events, best of luck and best wishes.

"Alopecia areata is characterized by hair falling out, resulting in smooth, round patches on the scalp. In some cases, alopecia areata can cause the complete loss of scalp and body hair. The condition is most common in people under 30...."

"...Telogen effluvium, or resting hair loss, is marked by diffuse hair loss that is not concentrated in one particular area of the scalp.

Usually, telogen effluvium occurs three to six months after a triggering event such as childbirth, major surgery, crash diets, thyroid disease, a severe infection or high fever.

In addition, hair loss can accompany flares of autoimmune diseases including lupus, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

Although alopecia can be influenced by hereditary and hormonal factors, weathering or hair breakage is one type of hair loss that is directly influenced by a person's behavior. Styling products such as perms, dyes, gels, relaxers and sprays can cause weathering."
