Schedule an appointment if you experience sudden, significant hair shedding. This means more hair than usual falling out, noticeable thinning, or bald patches.
Don’t wait if hair loss accompanies other concerning symptoms. These include unexplained weight loss, fever, fatigue, or skin rashes. Report these immediately.
Contact your doctor if hair loss persists even after you stop taking doxycycline. The timeline for hair regrowth varies, but if it’s not improving within a few months, it’s worth discussing.
Consider consulting a dermatologist if you’re experiencing severe hair loss or are unsure about the cause. A dermatologist has specialized knowledge and can perform tests to determine the underlying reason for your hair loss.
| Sudden, excessive hair shedding | Schedule a doctor’s appointment immediately. |

Open communication with your healthcare provider is key. Provide them with a complete medical history and accurately describe your symptoms for the best possible outcome.
