Post COVID hair loss (telogen effluvium) is common. Iron, Vitamin D, thyroid levels should be tested. Biotin and protein rich diet may help.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a VITAMIN B12 Test

Hi, I am a 24 year old female experiencing severe hair fall and thinning. I have already lost about 50 percent of the hair on my scalp. My doctor suggested blood tests, which came back normal, and has now prescribed Finasteride tablets. Is it safe for me to take Finasteride? I am planning to get married in the next 6 months, and I have heard it can have side effects. Please advise.

Hello mam, I had hair fall and leg pain, so I tested blood through Thyrocare. There are deficiencies of vitamin D, vitamin B12, and iron. Please check my report. Also, testosterone is 60.
