I have been experiencing significant hair loss for the past few months. I took Folli Hair tablets for one and a half months, but they did not help. My blood test results show CBC is normal, iron level is 46 microgram/dL, vitamin D is normal, testosterone is normal, TSH is normal, but my vitamin B12 level is low at 186. What could be the reason for my hair loss?

Hair fall may be due to low B12 and borderline iron. Continue treatment with B12 supplements and iron rich diet. If no improvement, consult dermatologist.

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?

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 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?
