SUN-332: A Rare Case of Hereditary 1,25 (OH)2D Resistant Rickets

Vitamin D tests like D2, D3, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D are discussed before starting hair treatment. Vitamin D can be obtained from food, but overdose has side effects.

The user is experiencing hair thinning and has a vitamin D deficiency, 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 vitamin D deficiency and consulting a dermatologist.

Vitamin D deficiency can hinder hair recovery, and addressing it may help with hair loss. Hair loss may result from various issues like excess DHT, vitamin deficiency, or scalp inflammation.

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to hair loss, and supplementation with vitamin D can improve conditions like androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Users discussed various dosages of vitamin D, emphasizing the importance of getting blood tests to determine the appropriate amount.

Vitamin D supplementation may have led to slight hair regrowth and density improvement. Other treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, and maintaining optimal vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D deficiency 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.
