I have been experiencing hair fall for the past five months, and the regrowth of hair has comparatively smaller diameter than before. I consulted a dermatologist and have been on medication for the last one month. My test reports show ferritin 64, vitamin D 28, and thyroid 1.7. I have not seen any improvement. Hair thinning continues, and I also have dandruff. The medicines I am using are Phytoral, Dvion 60X, Biotin, Keraglow shampoo, and Keraglow lotion.

Ferritin and Vitamin D are borderline low for hair growth. Continue supplements. Hair fall takes 3 to 6 months to respond. Avoid stress and harsh shampoos. Consider rechecking thyroid and ferritin in 6 weeks.

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.

I have been suffering from hair fall for the past 3 months. It started suddenly. Whenever I comb my hair around 60 to 70 strands fall. For the past 3 weeks I was using minoxidil and it reduced my hair fall by 50 percent but after I stopped using minoxidil for a week my hair fall increased and became worse. My blood report is also normal. Please suggest what should I do?

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.
