Seasonal Hair Loss?
Hello Doctor
Any tips to fight seasonal ( autumn ) hair loss ? Might not be permanent but it sure is annoying !
Thanks in advance
There are seasonal changes in hair shedding that is mild for most people. We look at human hair loss as asynchronous, which means that it does not shed completely at one time of year. Some of the vestiges of molting may be left over from our embryonic pre-human existence… unless, that is, you don’t believe in evolution (in which case, I can do nothing but shake my head).
To answer your question though, there is nothing that I know of that will deal with any seasonal shedding.
I had seasonal hair loss in the fall and it turned out to be related to hypothyroidism.
It gets better in January, starts about end of July to mid-August.
