A 27-year-old male experiencing increased hair loss despite using 0.5mg dutasteride daily, minoxidil nightly, and optimizing vitaminD, is considering zinc supplementation and seeking a dermatology referral. Concerns about potential shedding, thyroid levels, and zinc dosage are discussed, with advice to monitor and avoid over-supplementation.
VitaminDsupplementation may have led to slight hair regrowth anddensity improvement. Other treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, and maintaining optimal vitaminD levels.
VitaminDsupplementation can aid hair regrowth for some, but results differ. Combining vitaminD with finasteride and minoxidil often improves hair thickness, though not for everyone.
VitaminDdeficiency is linked to hair loss, andsupplementation 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.
The individual is experiencing hair loss and has a vitaminDdeficiency, with levels at 7.49ng/ml or 26nmol/l. They are unsure if the deficiency is causing the hair loss and are seeking advice on vitaminDsupplementation.
