eyelash growth

I here when you go on birth control pills, you are more susseptible to hair loss if you have androgenic alopecia so i was just wondering if its possible to get tested for it.

Hi there!
There is no specific test to detect Androgenic Alopecia… basically when there is no other cause that make your hair fall, and the doctor determine that the cause of your hair loss is not hormonal, or caused by stress, or any other possibility… probably you will have Androgenic Alopecia…

About Diagnosis of other types of Alopecia
If you are looking for pyoderma or a fungal infection, then a smear and culture of the scrapings for bacteria and fungi should be done.

If these are negative, a skin biopsy should be performed. The skin biopsy will help identify lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and alopecia areata.

Systemic disorders may need to be ruled out with thyroid function tests, antinuclear antibody (ANA) assay, VDRL test, CBC, and serum iron and ferritin. (A dermatologist should be consulted in difficult cases.)

How do you get tested for androgenic alopecia?
