Hello

thank you for trusting HCM

Dear iron deficiency may lead to anemia, anemia is risk factor for hair loss. But excessive Iron supplements do not only appear to be unnecessary for hair loss but can actually cause more problems, notes the AHLA. Iron is toxic at high doses and can lead to hair loss. Taking too much iron can also cause serious conditions such as liver damage and diabetes.

So just check your serum iron , serum ferritin and iron binding capacity etc..

also check for Hypothyroidism, zinc and selenium deficiency,male pattern of baldness , steroid consumption these are few causes for hair loss.
If symptoms not improved please consult your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
