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.

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?

I was recently cured of chickenpox. My blood test report shows a very low serum ferritin level of 15. Sometimes I notice blood in my stool. I am also experiencing a lot of hair fall, and rashes appear on my skin daily. When I take Livogen to improve my serum ferritin, it causes skin rashes, so I am unable to improve my ferritin levels. Kindly guide me on what I should do.

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.
