Daughter loosing hair

[Burpsandrustles]

Doctors did blood tests, everything normal. What they checked for I don't know.

What's next step?

Ask them what they checked for and what they advise next
How old is she?

How old? In teenage years, I'd consider a possible eating disorder. My DSIS hair started falling out because of anorexia.

You really need to find out what they tested for. Have they made any recommendations.

12. Yes of course we will return. Just wondering if anyone had ideas what they will advise us or what it could be...

No eating disorder, healthy weight and not even aware of looks yet.... Doesn't compare to others.. Definalty not that. Reasonably healthy diet... Good weight... Very active.

Is it general thinning?
At this age I'd think telogen effluvium if bloods are normal, usually occurs a few months after a stressful situation, common in kids with bullying/around exam time.
If this is the case it will grow back in the next hair cycle.
(GP)

Alopecia? I have a student with it and she's in year 7, Thankfully it's grown back lovely but could happen again.

She had sats and school put them under pressure but she didn't have any pressure at home! We weren't bothered at all by them.
. I guess bloods would show up something sinister?

She had a few sparodic episodes of puking.... Not loads but enough to raise it a few months ago...

Is she pulling it out?

I started losing my hair very young. It is very thin now. Perfectly healthy, just hereditary and nothing I can do. Anyone in the family with thinning hair?
Losing hair or hair not growing fast enough to replace? All over or one small area?
Sorry OP, it is very stressful

Could she be pulling it out?
I do this and have done since i was 7 or 8. I didnt admit what i was doing, and went to drs. Then my mum caught me at it.

I'm 32 now still do it :(

My dd is 12 and she’s been losing her (already thin and fine) hair for a couple of months now. It’s falling out in chunks daily. GP said diffuse Alopecia due to a medical condition she had earlier in the year. It’s a stressful time for her. Hope your dd is okay about it.

If it's thin or balding in certain areas look closely at the follicle and see any evidence the root has been pulled out.

She does twiddle it yes.

As in twists it round but there seems to be a few areas she doesn't do this that it looks very thin.

Otherwise she has beautiful thick hair!

Does she fiddle with her hair a lot? I ask as an adult with trichotillomania, I used to fiddle with my hair a lot and had thin spots when I was younger

Could well be trichotillomania, if she often twiddles it.

Any other symptoms, at all? Anything else unusual?

Visibly losing hair in a patch or thinning all over?

This does sound like trichotollomania. This is pulling it out. You search for the "right" hair then pull. This results in patches of thin hair and other areas normal.

What do you mean by a few sporadic episodes of puking? That doesn't sound normal.

My dd has pernicious anemia and before it was diagnosed I noticed she was losing quite a lot of hair. Now that she is on medication (basically iron supplements) the situation is reversed and she is healthier all round.

Hi as weird as it sounds has she cut any dairy or say milk out of her diet a few months ago my hair started to fall out very badly like two brush fulls if I brushed mu hair also when I washed it. I had bloods done and mine came back fine I thought it was my b12 my nurse at the doctors asked if I had cut anything out and I said milk for just over a year. So I started having the alpro dairy free milk and within a few days my hair stoped falling out. Nurse said I could of been lacking something they don't normal test with the bloods so could be something as silly as cuting a food out and not geting a certain vitamin

Admit not read the thread so might be repeat

weird diet
Eating disorder
Vitamin deficiency
Thyroid disorder
SKin disorder eg psoriasis
Diabetes
HOrmonal dysregulation of some type - similar to postnatal hair loss after vast growth during pregnancy
IS she overusing straighteners/irons or similar?
HOpe it gets sorted
GOod luck!

I've gone through phases of losing massive clumps of hair, like running a hand through my hair and coming out with a handful of hair or taking my rucksack off after school and pulling clumps out of the mesh backing, since I was about 12 or 13. For me it was sometimes stress, but sometimes it was just a random thing, or because a lot of my hair had reached terminal length at once. My bloods have always come back fine in these periods, in the absence of other symptoms I would suggest making sure she eats a balanced diet and possibly going back to the GP in a month or so, or sooner if she develops more symptoms, but don't worry yourseld overly, like you say blood would have almost certainly shown up anything really nasty.
Since one PP (maybe more) mentioned thyroid, if that does become an issue and the medication doesn't relieve the symptoms look into Hashimodos (maybe not spelt like that), but thyroid would have shown up in the blood work so I doubt it's that.

Thanks for the responses, will monitor.
