Patients with hair loss due to excessive liver fire can initially try eating some walnuts and black sesame seeds, as these can effectively help manage the condition. Additionally, it is best to avoid alcohol, smoking, and consuming dry, irritating foods. It is also advisable not to lose temper, as being quick-tempered can further exacerbate the symptoms of excessive liver fire. Moreover, it is important to get ample rest and avoid excessive strain. The diet should primarily be light to effectively prevent the issue, or one could take medications to reduce liver fire for quicker treatment. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can kidney deficiency hair loss be treated by simply nourishing the kidneys?

Kidney deficiency type hair loss is caused by kidney deficiency and a shortage of kidney essence, leading to hair loss. It can also be caused by excessive physical exhaustion, mental stress, and a deficiency of trace elements within the body. Diet adjustments can be made to address this, such as supplementing with collagen-rich foods including black sesame, black beans, wood ear mushrooms, and goji berries. It's important to maintain a pleasant mood, relax, eat less spicy and stimulating foods, ensure adequate sleep, avoid overexertion and staying up late, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. Supplementing with vitamins is also beneficial.

How long will it take for hair follicles to necrose after hair loss?

Hair loss for about half a year can lead to the death of hair follicles. The death of hair follicles is usually caused by folliculitis, which is due to damage or blockage of the follicles, leading to redness, itching, and pain in the center of the follicle, appearance of papules and pustules, and in severe cases, ruptured pustules that crust over and form permanent skin damage, such as scars and hair loss. Therefore, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly upon signs of folliculitis. Diagnosis can be confirmed through physical skin examinations, laboratory tests, and pus examination. Timely treatment usually involves the application of topical antibiotics like Mupirocin ointment, topical corticosteroids such as Budesonide ointment, and for patients with poor response to topical medication, ultraviolet light treatment of the infected area may be chosen. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can postpartum hair loss grow back?

Postpartum hair loss can occur but it typically grows back. This type of hair loss is mainly due to the decline in estrogen and progesterone levels in women after childbirth, which causes the hair follicles to lose some nourishment, leading to hair loss. Additionally, the stress, fatigue, and emotional instability that often follow childbirth can also contribute to postpartum hair loss. Generally, postpartum hair loss stops about six months after childbirth. Through proper postpartum care, getting adequate rest, improving nutrition, and maintaining a good mood, the hair generally grows back quickly.

Is postpartum hair loss related to breastfeeding?

Postpartum hair loss is a normal physiological phenomenon and is unrelated to breastfeeding. It is mainly due to psychological factors, lifestyle, and physiological changes after childbirth. During pregnancy, the level of hormones in the body, particularly estrogen, is relatively high, which can make the scalp the healthiest it has been in one's life. However, after the birth of the child, estrogen levels decrease. This imbalance leads to the shrinking of the skin's hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. In treatment, dietary adjustments are primarily used, such as consuming more protein-rich foods like eggs, milk, walnuts, black rice, and sunflower seeds. Additionally, it is important to have a balanced diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, ensure adequate sleep, and maintain a relaxed mood. Managing these aspects of daily life can also help alleviate hair loss.
