I have been experiencing severe hair fall for the past 2 months. Despite using hair oils and maintaining a good diet, the hair fall continues. I have done various tests, and all results are normal. What could be causing this, and what should I do to stop the hair fall?

Hair fall without any clear cause may be telogen effluvium (stress triggered). Continue vitamins, monitor 2 more months.

Take a Ferritin Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

I was recently cured of chickenpox. My blood test report shows a very low serum ferritin level of 15. Sometimes I notice blood in my stool. I am also experiencing a lot of hair fall, and rashes appear on my skin daily. When I take Livogen to improve my serum ferritin, it causes skin rashes, so I am unable to improve my ferritin levels. Kindly guide me on what I should do.
