After 8months Minoxidil,hair shedding
Hi Doctor,
Last year I had severe hair shedding which leads to overall see through frontal scalp.
My doctor prescribed Anasure 5% once and Diprobate solution once. I got really very good result that I never expected. My hair got thicker and added so much volume.
Recently, since 1month I am facing hair shedding like anything, I can even see the baby hairs falling out. Everywhere in my room, on wardrobe comb I am seeing hair. Again hair partition became wide and whenever i am runing fingers through hair, 8-10hairs coming out. I tried using minoxidil foam 5%, but nothing's changed.
I have diagnosed with low feritin, doctor prescribed me to have 60gm protin everyday, I am trying to take the same.

If you have Low ferritin you need iron supplementation . You will need more detailed evaluation and management accordingly. First need to controll the fall and then introduce minoxidil for regrowth.
