Question 1

I had an accident last year in December due to which I got five stitches on my scalp. After recovery, I had severe hair fall which later got controlled. In the month of March, I took a hair spa. Since then, I have been having severe hair fall. I consulted a doctor and underwent thyroid and other hormonal tests. I also took medicines for three months but there has been no improvement?

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Hi Doctor, this is Santosh. I recently had a dihydrotestosterone blood test done because of hair loss. Today I received my report, and the result is 779 pg/mL (reference range: 250 to 990). Is this considered normal, or do I need to take any medication for it? Please advise.

Low ferritin can cause hair loss. Orofer helps but may cause minor side effects. Consider discussing alternative iron supplements and Biotin with your doctor.
