Hi, I have hair loss and hair thinning? I got my blood tests done, and the reports are normal, my thyroid is working fine (T3, T4, TSH)? I need a consultation with an experienced dermatologist who can help me solve my hair loss problem?

Hair loss despite normal thyroid may be linked to deficiencies or stress. Common causes include low iron, Vitamin D, B12, or ferritin levels. PCOS, hormonal imbalance, or scalp infections can also contribute. Dermatologists can assess scalp condition and suggest topical/minoxidil based therapy. Nutritional support and stress reduction are also key.

I am experiencing severe hair loss, with hair falling out in clumps. About 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and borderline hypothyroidism. I took thyroid medication and managed to reverse my PCOD through diet and exercise (my periods are now regular, without medication or birth control). However, my hair has not grown since my last haircut about 7 months ago, and the hair loss is worsening. I am considering starting biotin supplements.

I am having tremendous hair fall, almost looks like all my hair is falling out. I have thyroid problems but it is controlled as I am taking Thyronorm 50. I am pregnant too. Do conditioners help in controlling hair fall?

Is Hijama (wet cupping therapy) effective for treating hair loss, and can it actually restore lost hair? There are many videos on YouTube showing scalp Hijama and claiming hair regrowth, are these results reliable?
