Hair loss on scalp
Hi, I lost 50% of hair suddenly in last 3 months. When I check my vitamins- D is 12ng/ml and B12 is 170 pg/ml. No one from my father side or mother side are having balding history. I lost most of the hair on top of scalp. Is that due to vitamin deficiency or male pattern balding ? I am planing to get marry in March 2020. Could you please advise ..

you need to restore your vitamin levels along with proper therapy for both the diseases
