Welcome To The Hair Loss Causes Forum

[Women's Hair Loss Project]

Hi Everyone! I think the sub-forums I created pretty much encompass the majority of reasons that women lose their hair, so hopefully they allow women to engage in more specific conversations regarding their own type of hair loss.

Hi, all,

I am new to the forum and for the past year I have lost so much hair yet I still have a lot of hair. I'm in my mid-30s. I don't understand why I am losing hair - in the shower, combing my hair, running my fingers through my hair, etc. My hair is all over my house and it's really annoying. I don't take medication although I lead a very stressful lifestyle. Does anyone else have this condition or suggestion as to the reasons?

Thanks,
Rainn

There could be many reasons for hair loss and then there is the element of horrible surprise...no reason at all. Have you been to a doctor about it yet?

I'm from the Midwest so maybe someone else can answer your question about Florida drs. If you don't find someone specifically, what I did was to look up in my insurance book dermatologists in my area and read on line (google the dr. and look up their qualifications/specialities)....... I have an app't. with a derm. who supposedly deals with skin and hair (others didn't mention hair.)

I am hypothyroid so am going to ask for a thyroid test (includes free t3 and free t4); don't know if you have thyroid conditions or not; and D and iron, etc.

I was going to try for an endocronologist (you might try the same search for that if you wish); some people have luck with them......

And there are cases of gp's that know something about it; but I'm trying the derm. first!

You could do some googling for hair loss drs. in your area. Good luck!
