Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Iron deficiency anemia can cause hair loss also. Taking iron supplements along with biotin folic acids and essential minerals will be helpful. Use some medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole or selenium sulphide twice weekly. How is the pattern of hair loss. ? Is it more on Crown and frontal area. ? Include different types of pulses and fruits in your diet. Taking eggs, meat and fish is good also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
