I'm taking iron supplements with vitamin C for three weeks now to help with my hair loss, and I noticed my ferritin levels went up from 30 to 205 in this time. But I'm still losing hair. What should I do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's good that your ferritin levels have increased, but hair loss can still persist. In addition to iron supplements, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on your scalp. This can help promote hair growth. Additionally, consider taking Biotin tablets 10 mg once daily to further support hair health. Remember to continue with your iron supplements and maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients for overall hair health.

View allI've got some really bad boils and I'm not sure what to do. Should I see a surgeon or maybe a dermatologist? I'm kind of worried and just want to make sure I go to the right specialist. Any advice?
You should consult with a dermatologist for the treatment of severe boils. They specialize in skin conditions and can provide you with the appropriate care. In the meantime, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and apply it to the affected area twice a day to help with healing.
