How can I find out the exact reason for hair loss? I have tried many treatments, but nothing works. My thyroid test is normal in the last report, but still there is no improvement in hair loss. The condition is getting worse day by day. I also have a dandruff problem.

Androgenic alopecia or seborrheic dermatitis possible. Needs evaluation for iron, vitamin D, and scalp fungal infection. Please take Ferritin, Vit D3, Zinc and Fungal KOH Scraping.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a Ferritin Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

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.
