A Study to Assess the Relationship Between Female Pattern Hair Loss and Levels of Serum 25 Hydroxyvitamin D and Ferritin

A 19-year-old experiencing hair loss for two years is using Minoxidil and topical finasteride. They are seeking advice on the type of balding they have and the best treatment approach.

A 19-year-old experiencing hair loss for two years is using Minoxidil and considering starting Finasteride immediately. A user advises starting Finasteride quickly, as Minoxidil alone won't stop hair loss.

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 has been experiencing hair thinning despite taking finasteride and minoxidil for six months. Bloodwork suggests a vitamin D deficiency, and users recommend consulting a doctor and possibly supplementing vitamin D.

The user shared their 16-month hair loss treatment progress using Dutasteride, RU58841, Minoxidil, microneedling, Nizoral, T/GEL, and vitamin D supplementation. They reported no side effects and significant improvement in hair growth.
