I am suffering from severe hairfall. My front scalp is almost visible now and even a slight touch causes hair to break. I have been on medicines but have had no results and hence want to try PRP. Since I am only 21 I want to know the effects and results of PRP. I really hope to get my hair back at least to some extent. I have been advised to do PRP but I am still skeptical since there is a lot of money involved.

PRP can help in early hair thinning and is safe when done by professionals. Results vary. Try iron rich diet, manage stress, and rule out deficiencies first before opting for PRP. Please get Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, iron profile, and thyroid function tests done to identify any deficiencies contributing to the hair loss

Please review my test report and advise me. I have been experiencing significant hair fall recently, and I had COVID in April. What could be causing this, and what steps should I take to manage it?

I am experiencing hair loss due to thyroid issues and am taking Eltroxin 50 mcg. My recent blood test results came back normal, but I am still suffering from thinning hair. What should I do to manage this?
