I'm really worried because I've been using propyzole for over two months now, along with atarax, but it seems like it's getting worse instead of better. It's expanding more and more. What should I do next? It's really frustrating to see no improvement. Could there be something else affecting it?

I've been reading up on vitamin D and its impact on hair health, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 23 years old and was recently told I have a vitamin D deficiency. My 25 OH hydroxy vitamin D test results show I have about 23ngmL. Could this deficiency be causing my hair loss? I'm pretty worried and would love some advice.

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to hair loss, particularly alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and female pattern hair loss; with a 25(OH)D level of 23 ngmL, you have a moderate deficiency; supplementing with vitamin D (1,000-2,000 IUday) and maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin may help promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.
