Hair fall since a year
I have been facing severe hair fall since a year now from Nov 2020. Consulted a dermatologist, did blood test and found that I was having B12 deficiency (100 pg/mL). Doctor gave B12 supplements, my hair fall reduced tremendously after a month. But then after 2-3 months again hair fall started. Did blood test (Dec 2021), again B12 deficiency (181 pg/mL) also vitamin D deficiency (19.5). I have been taking both supplements from a month now but no difference in hair fall. Please please suggest or advice something. I have been eating healthy (protein, fish, meat, egg), etc. But why my hair fall is not stopping.
