People with alopecia areata often have lower vitaminD levels and are more likely to be deficient in it.
VitaminDdeficiency may contribute to hair loss, but correcting it alone doesn't guarantee regrowth. Users report mixed results with supplements and treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
The user is experiencing hair thinning and has a vitaminDdeficiency, which they suspect might be causing the issue, but they are also considering androgenic alopecia (AGA) as a cause. They are currently using minoxidil and are unable to get finasteride prescribed, while others suggest addressing the vitaminDdeficiency and consulting a dermatologist.
VitaminDdeficiency can contribute to hair loss, but it is not the sole cause, and supplementation may not always resolve the issue. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are recommended for hair regrowth, with vitaminD and other supplements providing additional support.
VitaminDdeficiency is linked to hair loss, and supplementation with vitaminD can improve conditions like androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Users discussed various dosages of vitaminD, emphasizing the importance of getting blood tests to determine the appropriate amount.
A 20-year-old male has been experiencing hair loss for three years due to a vitaminDdeficiency and has seen no improvement after 3.5 months of taking supplements. Another person suggested that if the hair loss follows a pattern, it might be regular baldness rather than due to the deficiency.
