Dear Smile E.
Why is my hair falling out? Is this something to do with PCD or not?

Dear Losing My Hair,
I’m not exactly sure why you are losing your hair. What I do know it that it can be a side effect of certain medications and or certain illness and infections. The best advice I have is to seek evaluation from a dermatologist who can also offer several treatment options. It’s not a known PCD issue, hair loss that is. However indirectly hair loss can be caused by treatment of diseases and just age related hormone changes. This is actually something I’ve dealt with myself and am receiving help from my dermatologist. I’m glad that I asked him about it while he was treating my psoriasis, which is likely the cause of my hair loss and not my PCD.
I would caution you about over the counter hair treatments as they can have serious interactions with the medications used in the treatment of PCD. Your medical provider and or your pharmacist can help you determine drug and hair growth treatment interactions. Good luck!
Yours Truly,
Smile E. Turtle
