    Default advice for getting hormone levels checked?

    i've been to a dermatologist and to a trichologist and neither of them have been able to explain my shedding. i have been shedding big time since june and unfortunately this pattern reoccurs every summer. have been on fin and minox for over a year--thought things were stable until june. i now would like to see an endocrinologist to get my hormone levels checked.

    can anyone who has had bloodwork done give me a heads up on what i need to make sure they check?

    thanks for your help!

    If the shedding happens only in the summer. It may be because your follicles are synchronized to be in the telogen phase at the same time, more than 10% probably due to telogen effovium you had in the past.

    Hormone levels won't tell you anything. If you are not shedding minituarized hairs then you should get your thyroid checked.
