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, which has led to visible balding patches. I recently underwent hormonal testing, and all results were normal except for low serum ferritin levels. My general physician prescribed Orofer to address the iron deficiency. However, since starting Orofer, I have noticed breakouts (pimples) and irregular periods, which were not an issue before. Could you please advise.

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.
