Hair loss and very low vitamin D
I am experiencing hair loss and recently took a blood test, which revealed that I have diabetes (likely genetic). My Vitamin D level (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) is 4.34 ng/ml.
Additionally, I struggle with stress, and my blood pressure fluctuates between normal and high.
I need guidance regarding my hair loss and would like to know if I can safely use minoxidil and finasteride. Also, I need advice regarding my Vitamin D levels based on my health records.

First is to correct the low viatmin d levels. Fluctuating blood pressure could also be due to stress. Apart from the vitamin supplements, specific hair supplements and hair growth spray will help stop the hairfall and improve hair growth. Please take an online/ in person consultation so that detailed history and clinic examination can be done and treatment plan can be given.
