Just go to your regular dr. first. She/he will be able to examine you and run the appropriate labs in order to determine if you need a specialist and which one to send you to if you do.
Just FYI ’cause I’m a big nerd, here’s a few things that cause alopecia(hair loss) along with other symptoms you might watch for.
Medications that cause alopecia: warfarin, heparin, propylthiouracil, carbimazole, lithium, beta blockers, colchicine, & isotretinoin.
-Telogen effluvium: diffuse hair loss following major stress, high fever, severe infections, hormone changes, post-partum.
-Alopecia areata: hair follicles are attacked by T lymphocytes, usually seen in hyper or hypothyroidism, vitiligo, & down’s syndrome. Characteristics include circular areas of hair loss & pitting of fingernails.
-Tinea capitis: aka cradle cap, cased by the dermatophyte Trichophyton tonsurans. This infection can lead to scaling lesions on the scalp, patches of hair loss with stubble/broken hairs, and/or plaque formations with pustules(little bumps that look like pimples).
-Androgenic allopecia: hair loss due to ovarian or adrenal gland dysfunction. Associated symptoms include deepened voice, clitoris enlargement, changes in skin, decreased breast tissue, & facial hair.
-Lupus erythmatosus: may result in diffuse hair loss/involves the entire scalp or only invove the frontal scalp.
Yes you can go to him. Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems. Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.
