I have been experiencing severe hair fall for the past 2 months. Despite using hair oils and maintaining a good diet, the hair fall continues. I have done various tests, and all results are normal. What could be causing this, and what should I do to stop the hair fall?

Hair fall without any clear cause may be telogen effluvium (stress triggered). Continue vitamins, monitor 2 more months.

Take a Ferritin Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

This is my blood report. Doctor recommended PRP. On what basis is PRP recommended? He has prescribed medicine too. Can my hair fall be cured by only medicine or should I go for PRP?

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.
