My age is 24. I am loosing hair around the ring part in the head. It is becoming like a bold head around the ring part. I was surprised that I took
care of hair since my childhood, but I am loosing hair. Lossed hair is not getting back. Should I get that loosed hair back? or Is there any solution to get back. I loosed most of the hair when I got fever which was happened nearly 6 months back, but untill now I didn’t get it back. Now also I am loosing hair. My hair gets on pillow when I wake up.

You may have pattern balding, in which case you need to see a hair specialist and possibly be on medications. A consult for possible hair transplant is also an option. However, the history of fever is interesting. You may very possibly have experienced telogen effluvium (shedding) which can occur after fever or other illness. If so, the hair often returns after a number on months, but it will not all return at once. There may be other illness which contributes to continued hair loss. A scalp biopsy may possibly be indicated.A lot of possible explanations. Best bet is a dermatologist. They will know the best tests to order including possible scalp biopsy. Telogen effluvium is possible with stress, where many of the hairs go into the resting stage at once.

A considerable number of different causes for telogen effluvium exist. Among the common causes are high fevers, severe infections, severe chronic illness, severe psychological stress, major surgery or illnesses, over or under active thyroid gland, crash diets with inadequate protein, and a variety of medications. Most hair loss from medications is this type and causes include retinoids, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antidepressants, and NSAIDS (including ibuprofen).

No treatment is needed for most cases of telogen effluvium. Remember that the hairs fall out when a new hair growing beneath it pushes it out. Thus with this type of hair loss, hair falling out is a sign of hair regrowth. As the new hair first comes up through the scalp and pushes out the dead hair a fine fringe of new hair is often evident along the forehead hairline.

The most important issue in telogen effluvium is to determine if an underlying cause for the problem is present. Blood tests may need to be done if the cause is not obvious, such as mild iron deficiency. If the telogen effluvium is caused by a medication, the medication needs to be stopped. When the cause of the hair loss is something like giving birth, a transient illness, or other self-limited problem the induced telogen effluvium is also usually self-limited and requires no treatment.
