I have been experiencing hair fall for the past five months, and the regrowth of hair has comparatively smaller diameter than before. I consulted a dermatologist and have been on medication for the last one month. My test reports show ferritin 64, vitamin D 28, and thyroid 1.7. I have not seen any improvement. Hair thinning continues, and I also have dandruff. The medicines I am using are Phytoral, Dvion 60X, Biotin, Keraglow shampoo, and Keraglow lotion.

Ferritin and Vitamin D are borderline low for hair growth. Continue supplements. Hair fall takes 3 to 6 months to respond. Avoid stress and harsh shampoos. Consider rechecking thyroid and ferritin in 6 weeks.

I have been experiencing significant hair loss for the past few months. I took Folli Hair tablets for one and a half months, but they did not help. My blood test results show CBC is normal, iron level is 46 microgram/dL, vitamin D is normal, testosterone is normal, TSH is normal, but my vitamin B12 level is low at 186. What could be the reason for my hair loss?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

How can I find out the exact reason for hair loss? I have tried many treatments, but nothing works. My thyroid test is normal in the last report, but still there is no improvement in hair loss. The condition is getting worse day by day. I also have a dandruff problem.
