At 24 with a low body weight for your height, extreme hair fall and thinning is usually a mix of male-pattern hair loss and telogen effluvium from nutritional deficiency (iron, vitamin D, B12, protein), thyroid issues or stress.At 24, heavy hair fall with thinning is most often male pattern hair loss, and a low body weight for your height makes nutritional causes such as low iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12 or protein deficiency very likely contributors as well. Thyroid problems and scalp conditions like dandruff or fungal infection can add to it. Pattern loss can usually be slowed with proper treatment, but the cause should be confirmed before starting anything.
Next Steps
At 24 with a low body weight for your height, extreme hair fall and thinning is most often a combination of male-pattern hair loss and telogen effluvium driven by nutritional deficiency (iron, vitamin D, B12, protein), thyroid problems or stress. Random shampoos and over-the-counter serums rarely help until the underlying cause is identified.
Health Tips
Please get a CBC with serum ferritin, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and thyroid profile, and see a physician or dermatologist in person for a scalp examination. Meanwhile improve protein intake (eggs, dairy, pulses), sleep 7-8 hours, use a mild shampoo and avoid harsh chemical treatments. Improvement takes about 3 months. You are welcome to consult me on Practo or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.
