I'm a bit worried because my blood test came back showing my monocyte level is zero, but everything else is normal. What could this mean for my health? Should I be concerned?

I've been dealing with hair loss since I was 23 and recently discovered it's due to hypothyroidism. I'm currently getting homeopathy treatment, which has helped a bit, but the hair loss won't stop. I don't have PCOD, PCOS, scalp issues, or dandruff, so those aren't the problems. My doctor mentioned it could be an iron deficiency, so I started some meds they suggested. My hemoglobin went up, but my serum ferritin is still pretty lowit's been stuck around 16 to 24 over the past year, even with me eating red meat and other iron-rich foods. It's frustrating because Im getting married soon and don't want this stress hanging over me. Any idea who I should see about getting my serum ferritin levels up? Your advice would mean a lot.

I'm really worried about my swollen lymph nodes in the posterior triangle. It's been about 5 months now, and even though the FNAC report says they're reactive, theyre still hard, tender, and moveable. I finished the antibiotics my doctor prescribed, but the swelling hasnt gone down. Could it be possible for lymph nodes from an infection to stay swollen for this long? What should I do next?

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
