Question 1

I am a 23 year old male experiencing excessive hair loss for the past year. Initially, I thought it might be due to a drastic change in my diet after moving away from my hometown for work, where I was not eating very healthily. However, over time I noticed that my hair loss became more severe, my hair density reduced significantly, and at times, my scalp became visible. Concerned about this, I consulted a trichologist a month ago. After examining me, she initially suspected male pattern baldness and asked if I had a family history of baldness, which I do not. She then recommended tests including CBC, TSH, and Ferritin.

Question 2

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?

Question 3

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?

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.
