Talk to Dermatologist on Severe Hairfall,Vit D, B12,ferritin Def

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Female, 20 years old, Rawalpindi

I have been loosing hair since 8 months, have been to dermatologist but he kept saying everything is fine(only gave me shampoo/vit), but now, I myself did tests and it comes out to be severe vit D,B12 deficiency. My dr said to have vit D injection once every 15 days. Do I still need oral vit D tablets? And how long do I need these injections? Also he did n't prescribed anything for B12, Kindly tell me what to do for B12.

Thank you Mam,
But if my levels get normal, do I still have to use injection after that? And as my B12 is too low, surbex Z is enough?

B12 has no side effects unless u take it for very long period. if u r taking iron supplements even than u need to get CBC done.

Aoa
As u started with saying tht u r loosing hair....but trust me with this tht vit D n vit B has hardly any effect of ur hairfall. U need to do ur Serum ferritin n total iron binding capacity to improve ur hair fall. Vit D n B with help u with bones n sensation of ir hands n feet. I'm sure who prescribed u vit D injection can guide u better with how n when to take it.
