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.

Alopecia spreading to the beard is common in the autoimmune type. Dandruff can worsen hair fall. Regrowth is possible with steroids, minoxidil, PRP or immunotherapy. See dermatologist for treatment plan. Thyroid levels should be monitored as its related.

Please review my test report and advise me. I have been experiencing significant hair fall recently, and I had COVID in April. What could be causing this, and what steps should I take to manage it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently had a complete haemogram done, and the results showed that my haemoglobin, total RBC, total WBC, lymphocytes, POV, platelet count, MCV, and MCH are all highly imbalanced, with some values being either too high or too low. Currently, I am not experiencing any major physical problems except for hair fall. I want to understand why my blood report is showing such imbalances and what steps I should take.

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.
