I had an accident last year in December due to which I got five stitches on my scalp. After recovery, I had severe hair fall which later got controlled. In the month of March, I took a hair spa. Since then, I have been having severe hair fall. I consulted a doctor and underwent thyroid and other hormonal tests. I also took medicines for three months but there has been no improvement?

Hair fall post accident and spa could be due to telogen effluvium (stress related). If thyroid and hormone tests were normal, recheck iron and Vitamin D. Hair fall can take months to reverse. Serum Ferritin, Vitamin D and ANA like tests can be considered.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a Ferritin Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

View allI have been experiencing severe hair fall for the past two months. I consulted a doctor, and my thyroid test was normal. I was given a vitamin tablet for one month, but there has been no improvement. My hair continues to fall heavily, and I feel like I have lost a large amount. What could be causing this, and what should I do to stop the hair fall?

I have been experiencing hair fall for the past year, partly due to high stress and a surgery I underwent 2 months ago. I consulted two dermatologists, and both said it is due to nutritional deficiency. They prescribed biotin, folic acid, iron, calcium, and vitamin D tablets, which I am taking regularly. I have a healthy diet including almonds, sprouts, milk, fruits, and peanuts, and I no longer have stress. Despite this, only about a quarter of my hair remains. My engagement is next month. How can I regrow my hair by then, what should I do, and how long does it usually take for hair to fully regrow?
