MY HAIR FELL OUT
I know how distressing — even panic-inducing — it is to watch your hair fall out in clumps.
As a dermatologist, I’ve treated hair loss for over 25 years, but nothing prepared me for when my own hair fell out. Fortunately, the cause was reversible and it grew back.
Many people assume hair loss is just from stress, or “getting older,” or think “that’s just what happens.” But it can also be a sign of a deeper, internal condition.
I’ve diagnosed thyroid disease, autoimmune conditions, and even toxicities (including some from supplements) all by taking a thorough medical history, reviewing medications and supplements, doing bloodwork, and examining the scalp and hair under magnification.
Yes, it could be stress. But it deserves a deeper investigation.
