Tests for Hairfall and acne
I want to consult a doctor for my excessive hairfall and acne marks. But before that i want to take few tests and go for consultation. I had dengue 3 months back and I'm also having pcod. A doc told me to take tests for CBC, Vit B12, Vit D3, Fasting Thyroid profile and Ferritin level. But I couldn't visit that doc now. So I want to know if these tests are enough before consulting a doc?

You "might" need hormone profile but that decision can be taken after a dermatologist evaluates you
Also understand blood tests don't replace what a dermatologist will see with his / her eyes
Blood tests cannot diagnose all disorder
