Jessica Said:

what is the hair loss doctor called?..?

We Answered:

you need to see a dermatologist. They specialise in scalp conditions.

One word of advice. If the dermatologist or your own doctor prescribes "chemical treatments" like propecia or rogaine do not take them. I made the mistake of taking propecia without knowing the side effects. then found out the hard way they can cause erectile dysfunction and even impotence.

f you are beginning to lose your hair there are several things you can do to stop it.

Eat a healthy diet. Hair is 95% protein and eating a diet with plenty of vitamins and proteins will not only make your hair look healthy but will
help you to keep it.

take hair supplements for There are many that contain all the vitamins and proteins your hair needs. the best ones contain DHT inhibitors that stop your body converting testosterone into DHT.

Use a good shampoo. Ideally it should have a pH between 5 and 9. If you are not sure what to use get a shampoo formulated for hair loss.

Christopher Said:

If spironolactone is used to treat hair loss then why did my doctor prescribe it to me?

We Answered:

Well spironolactone is used to prevent testosterone from acting on its receptors, that are found in certain parts of our body. Therefore, it is a testoterone antagonist.

Which doctor to see for hair loss?

We Answered:

Find the 'cause' before you can find the solution, or a doctor, he'll just prescribe you pills when you can eliminate them yourself. Your hair will improve. Remember, whatever it was that caused them to fall out in the first place, it took years to get in your system, it will takes years to flush them down, so don't expect miracles overnight.

So many reasons why you have hair loss:

Supplements, steroids, hereditary, hair dyes perming, straightening, diet, having babies (yes I read once it happened to her), stress, medications with testosterone, certain antidepressants, menopause, anti-acne, and too much of everything. Add to that the 7,000 + toxic found in your home, plus pollution found outdoors. Your hair is crying for help!
When your teeth falls or get cavities, do you blame the toothpaste?

When your hair is crying for help, that's when it's too late to do anything about it, and hair products can not reverse the problem.

They also say you normally lose 100-200 hair a day, but I don't. I lose about 7-8 every time I brush it, so that's about 100 per week, give or take. About 23-25 if I shampooed my hair.

The majority of hair problems here are from girls in their 30s, asking how to care for their damaged hair, what product to make their hair grow, why their hair falls out, and why their shampoo or conditioner don't work. Women between 60-80 have that same problem, but it took them years to get there. And those same 30 & under girls are giving advice here? Now, I'm answering more problems re: hair fall or hair not growing from girls under 15. Go figure!

Even the cheapest shampoo can do magic for your hair, so it must be what you're doing AFTER you wash it. Shampoos and vitamins might make your hair look and feel healthier, but they won’t put more hairs on your head.

According Dr. Melissa Piliang, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic. Americans spent an estimated $176 million on hair loss products last year, and chances are some of that money was not well spent. Don’t let charming salon owners, seductive ads or fancy gimmicks convince you otherwise.

I know hair. I am in my early 60's, and I've been having menopause, and I am not experimenting hair loss, for those who said I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to hair. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy long hair. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing. What you see on my profile is what I have now. It's as thick as when I'm in my teens.
Stress, seldom. I went through stress when both parents died, plus sister taking me to court & selling the house, on my own and still no hair loss here!

What doctor should I go to for hair loss?

We Answered:

start out by going to your regular family doctor and he/she can recommend a specialist. i'd suggest seeing a doctor before you try and treatments yourself since depending on the reason for your hair loss, some/all may not work or could make it worse. i always hesitate to answer questions regarding hair loss because i think i can tend to jump to assuming it's a disease called alopicia because my sister has this. but from the way you described how the hair is falling out it does sound like it could be. but definitely call your doctor! while there aren't any definite treatments for all people with alopecia, doctors have had sucess with a lot of experimental treatments and they vary from person to person with whether they work. i'm by no means an expert but my sister has had alopecia for almost 10 years so if you have any questions feel free to send me a message and i'll try to help you the best i can!
