Im a 19 yr old male and ive been experiencing diffuse shedding since july of 2017. I was initially told by the derma that i had Telogen Effluvium caused by stress and that i should wait for a couple of months and see if it has slowed down. Last december 2017 i went to a hair loss expert and she ran tests. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. My TSH was 10.9. She prescribed levothyroxine (euthyrox) 25mcg and to come back in february for more tests. PLEASE HELP ME! IM SO DEPRESSED! My hair falls like 150 strands everyime i take a shower.
After doing more research i found out that my medicine can actually stop the hair loss or make it worse. Has anybody had any success in treating hair loss related to hypothyroidism? Can i go completely bald because of this? Do you think it would be wise to start taking minoxidil? Or should i wait till my thyroid labs are balanced? ALL HELP WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL!
