I am experiencing severe hair fall. It first started with itching and hair loss, so I consulted a doctor. She prescribed Allegra, Momate lotion, Scaboma lotion, and a tablet called Bandy Plus. She also advised me to do some tests, including Vitamin B12, Ferritin, Vitamin D, Thyroid, and CBC. My reports came back normal, and while the itching has stopped, the hair fall continues. I am not sure what is causing this. What should I do next? I am attaching my CBC report for your review.

If vitamin and thyroid levels are normal and itching has stopped, persistent hair fall may be telogen effluvium or stress related. A dermatology consult and ferritin test may help.

I have been having hair problems for the last 1 year, with excessive hair fall. My blood test shows low vitamin D and vitamin B12. I have been taking Nutrilite Cal Mag D and vitamin B12 supplements for the past month, but I have not seen any improvement. Due to WFH, I am living in Sangli, Maharashtra. I have also had some period related problems in the past 2 months. I think the hair loss may be due to hormonal imbalance. Please help me understand what I should do and which specialist I should consult to treat this issue/ Thank you.

I am suffering from alopecia areata. I have patches on my scalp, and now I am seeing patches in my beard and mustache. My hair is getting thinner, and I have too much dandruff in my beard. What should I do? Is hair regrowth possible? I have alopecia areata due to thyroid.
