Evaluation of Serum Substance P, Folic Acid, and Ferritin in Female Patients with Hair Fall and Trichodynia

The user is experiencing significant hair shedding and suspects it may be due to low serum ferritin levels rather than worsening androgenetic alopecia. They have resumed iron supplementation and are seeking additional solutions to address the shedding.

Low ferritin levels can affect hair density, and increasing ferritin through iron supplements may help with regrowth. It's suggested to maintain ferritin levels between 70-100 ng/mL and check other micronutrients for optimal hair health.

Lower levels of Ferritin and iron are linked to male pattern baldness. Checking these levels could provide clinical benefits.

Low iron and ferritin levels can contribute to hair shedding, and low ferritin can reduce the effectiveness of finasteride. Supplementing iron and vitamin D can help improve hair growth and overall health.

A 24-year-old male is experiencing hair loss due to low ferritin and vitamin D deficiency, and is using iron supplements, vitamin D3, finasteride, and ketoconazole shampoo for treatment. Users suggest increasing vitamin D and iron intake for better results and recommend consulting a professional for proper dosage.

A user experienced hair loss due to a folic acid deficiency and saw hair regrowth after taking a folic acid supplement. They advise checking for a folic acid deficiency before spending money on other treatments.
