Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss

Posted on Wed, 10 Feb 2016

Question: Hi Doc,

I consulted dermatologist for severe hair fall and skin problem. The doctor prescribed some blood test (Test result attached) . The test result shows deficiencies. Please go through test result and advice .

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Blood Cholesterol level is raised.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the attached images as well as the report. The cholesterol level seems to be elevated. The other parameters seem fine. You need to take some statin like atorvastatin (prescription medicine) once daily. You also need proper dietary control backed up with proper and regular exercise.

Your skin is oily leading to formation of acne. You need to wash your face frequently with plain water.

Thanks, what further test require and what to do for Vitamin D & iron deficiencies?

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Haemoglobin level will indicate if anaemia is there.

Detailed Answer:
The test for Vitamin D would be to check the blood Vitamin D level (25-OH-cholecalciferol).
The simple and primary test for iron deficiency would be to check the haemoglobin level in blood.
