I have anaemia. Haemoglobin 8.2. I have started taking iron supplements. Is this a cause for my hair fall? I have been facing acute hair loss and the length of my hair has stopped increasing. How long will it take to cure anaemia? How long does it normally take for hair to regrow?

There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
