  5. I have a lot of chest hair, but recently I've been noticing hair loss in that area. I saw a dermatologist, and he said its alopecia areata and started UV treatment for 6 weeks, but it didnt help. Then, I consulted a homeopath and did a thyroid test, and my TSH was around 8. The homeopathic doctor gave me some medicines, but still no improvement. Can you help me figure out whats going on?

Since the UV treatment and homeopathic medicines did not show any improvement, it's important to address the underlying thyroid issue. Your TSH level of around 8 indicates hypothyroidism, which can contribute to hair loss. The medications prescribed by the homeopathic doctor may not have been effective, so I recommend consulting with a medical doctor or endocrinologist for proper management of your thyroid condition.
