What doctor to see for female hair loss?

My hair is thinning a lot, especially at the crown, and it's making me really self-conscious. I'm a woman, so I know female hair loss can be different. Which doctor should I consult for this?

Please consult a dermatologist and a gynecologist soon. I ignored my thinning hair for two years thinking it was just stress, but it was actually a severe thyroid issue and PCOS. I really regret not getting a proper medical checkup earlier.

You should see a dermatologist, and maybe get a full hormone panel done. I get so anxious when I see hair on my pillow, so having a doctor do proper blood tests is the only way to feel sure and stop worrying.

Dermatologist ke paas jao na, skin and hair experts are the best for this. Female hair loss can be due to iron deficiency or hormones, toh doctor proper check karke medicine de denge, don't worry.

My teenage daughter had severe hair fall last year due to stress and poor diet. We took her to a kind dermatologist who put her on iron supplements and a simple hair serum, and her hair is growing back nicely now. Do get her checked.

My doctor told me that female hair thinning is often linked to low ferritin, Vitamin D, or thyroid levels. I went to a dermatologist who worked with my gynecologist to balance my hormones and treat the scalp, which finally worked.
