Ken Anderson's Expert Contributions
What is the best treatment option for baldness?
Thank you for asking this question. Hair loss in a 34-year-old female could have a number of reversible causes, including low or high thyroid levels, anemia, etc. It would be best to consult with a dedicated hair loss specialist to have a microscopic exam of your scalp and hairs to see what's going on. There are several reasons why you may be experiencing hair loss, and determining if it's a cause that can be addressed medically is the first step in treatment. A diagnosis must first be made...hair loss can be caused by many things. Best of luck. READ MORE
