Hey mars but the thing is the hair that are falling are really thick ones. I don't know it seems so wrong and i am so afraid.

Hey ziggy thank you for your reply. So i should look for a dermatologist not some hair doctor to run some blood tests or anything????

A hair doctor would be actually be preferable. I'm not sure what sort of blood tests could be run, but a hair doctor might be more familiar with the problem.

Pressure

You may want to use a little concealer on the top until the medicine kicks in. I am certainly not an advocate for meds but if it appears you are very concerned with hairloss,I would suggest looking into finasteride sooner than later to "stop the loss". Of course, check with your doctor about how this works in conjunction with your recent ETS surgery / postop
