Sister with hair loss
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2017 1:49 pm
My sister will be 18 in December and for the last year she has been suffering with hair loss. She has quit college this year and stays at home alot unless she really needs to go somewhere. She used to have thick hair like mine but when it is up in a ponytail (the only way to hide her scalp) the ponytail is so thin! It isn't like patches of baldness but more scattered all over so much u can see her scalp in a lot of places. She has to put it in a ponytail and sort of comb over more on one side and then hair spray it down. Some bits underneath have got short boy hairs but it still wont grow. She has had blood tests for different things which have all come back negative. She just takes iron tablets for a bit of anaemia. The stress of this has knocked her condidence understandably. Shes tried massaging her scalp for hair regrowth and shes tried that many shampoos and things I have lost count! My Mum and I have told her she need to go back to the GP to see what else if anything they can do but she is embarassed and hates her hair. Hopefully I can get some answers for her on here and in the meantime I will keep persuading her to go back to the GP .
