<s>[INST] suddenly I started having hair loss.  I had some steriod shots in my back.  The Dr. told me the last contained hormone and that could have cause it.   I am a 73 year old women and have always had thick hair.It is coming out fast and I am really worried. [/INST] Hi, It may be halogen effluvium. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Steroid is not the culprit. The cause may be something else. Have blood tests to find out internal cause.like thyroid dysfunction, anaemia, blood diseases or else. I would suggest...- biotin tab 10 mg daily for long time-mild steroid lotion to apply on scalp daily at night-take nutritious food-enough sleep-avoid stress hope this would help you... Thanks. Chat Doctor.  </s>
