Due to skin allergy and hair loss I consulted a skin doctor. My lab report shows vitamin B12 deficiency and very low ferritin levels, but the skin doctor did not give any treatment for that. Please help me and give suggestions as I am in urgent need?

B12 and ferritin deficiency can cause hair loss. You may need oral or injectable supplements. See a general physician or endocrinologist.

My unmarried relative has been suffering from nerve tingling on the left side of her body, from head to toes, including the left side of her back. A local doctor prescribed a course of 7 injections in the elbow area, but after taking them, she is now feeling even more tingling. I have attached her blood report for your review. Kindly go through the report and suggest what needs to be done.

I sometimes experience brain fog, pain at the back of my head, and a sensation of being off balance while walking. Sudden head movements cause dizziness, and I also have difficulty with eye movements. Could you please help me understand what these symptoms might indicate based on my report results?
