dr9ohm · Hair-Loss Severity Score

How concerning is your hair loss
Hair-supplement layer / ALOSOL

Quick answer (BLUF): A 0–15 shedding and thinning density score. Not a hair-growth drug prescription and not an ALOSOL order. Sudden bald patches need dermatology care.
5 clinical items (0–3) + lifestyle + urgent — not a diagnosis; not an ALOSOL order
How to answer
Symptoms: 0/1/2/3 · Other: Yes/No. Urgent Yes → see a doctor now.
Inspired by AAD hair-loss education / NCBI telogen effluvium / S3 AGA frameworks ·

Symptom score (Raw Score)
0 / 15
Symptoms answered 0/5 · Lifestyle 0/5 · Urgent 0/5

Part 1 — Core symptoms (scored)

Q1: Excess shedding
How much more hair than usual do you see on the pillow, in the shower, or in the drain?



Q2: Visible thinning
How often/clear is hairline recession, crown thinning, or a widening part that others notice?



Q3: Duration vs ~6-month frame
How long has this lasted versus a ~6-month minoxidil evaluation frame (not 2-week ads)?



Q4: Scalp warnings
How severe is scalp itch, redness, scale, pain, pus, scarring, or sudden round bald patches?



Q5: Relying on hair capsules instead of evaluation
How often do you rely on hair supplements (including ALOSOL) or biotin instead of dermatology / prescribed hair-growth medicines?



Part 2 — Cause-profile (not in the 15)

Not in the 15.

1. Considering stopping minoxidil or finasteride yourself after seeing ALOSOL ads

2. In the past 2–4 months: high fever, surgery, childbirth, or rapid weight loss (telogen window)

3. Parent or sibling with gradual hairline recession / crown thinning

4. Taking high-dose biotin hoping for regrowth, or never checked iron/thyroid despite heavy shedding

5. History of transplant, chemotherapy, or sudden round bald patches without clinician review

Part 3 — Urgent symptoms (not in the 15)

Any Yes → see a doctor now.

1. Sudden round bald patches, or painful scalp with pus/scarring

2. Fever or unintentional weight loss together with hair loss

3. After chemotherapy, immunosuppressants, or organ transplant without clinician review of hair loss

4. Rapid whole-scalp shedding exposing scalp in a short time

5. Planning to stop minoxidil/finasteride yourself for capsules despite patches or scalp wounds

When all 5 clinical items are answered, the score updates — a high score is not an ALOSOL prescription

Important notes (Red Flags)

Sudden bald patches, scarring infection, systemic illness with shedding, or stopping prescribed hair-growth medicines for ads → see dermatology now. ALOSOL is a supplement, not a hair-growth drug.

Frequently asked questions

Does this score mean I must take ALOSOL?

No. The 0–15 reflects shedding density — not a diagnosis and not a supplement order. ALOSOL is a dietary supplement, not a hair-growth drug.

What score should I not ignore?

8–10 is clearly disruptive; 11–15 is higher — both warrant dermatology, not more capsules. Patches, scarring, fever, or weight loss need care even if the total is low.

Can 2-week or 2-month ads replace a ~6-month evaluation frame?

No. S3 AGA frameworks evaluate topical minoxidil over about 6 months — not ad drain photos at 2 weeks. Item 3 compares duration to that frame.

Does the score name the cause?

No. Part 2 helps separate telogen after illness/birth, gradual genetic thinning, self-stopping medicines, and red flags — still not a diagnosis.

Can I stop minoxidil/finasteride for ALOSOL ads?

No. Supplement ads are not orders to stop prescribed medicines.

Is biotin enough if shedding is heavy?

Not as a substitute for evaluating iron/thyroid and dermatology when shedding is dense.
