Question 1

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.

Question 2

Hi Doctor, this is Santosh. I recently had a dihydrotestosterone blood test done because of hair loss. Today I received my report, and the result is 779 pg/mL (reference range: 250 to 990). Is this considered normal, or do I need to take any medication for it? Please advise.

Question 3

I had an accident last year in December due to which I got five stitches on my scalp. After recovery, I had severe hair fall which later got controlled. In the month of March, I took a hair spa. Since then, I have been having severe hair fall. I consulted a doctor and underwent thyroid and other hormonal tests. I also took medicines for three months but there has been no improvement?

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?

PRP is recommended when hair loss is resistant to medication or to boost regrowth. If your report shows nutritional or hormonal issues, medicines may help first. Do the required ferritin, thyroid, and vitamin levels.
