What are the recommended diagnostic investigations and treatment strategies for chronic, treatment-resistant hair thinning in a patient with a history of iron deficiency anemia (previously treated with iron injections) and suspected ferritin imbalances?

Asked by Female, 21 · 10 days ago

To get to the root of this, I recommend checking a complete iron panel (including ferritin, serum iron, and TIBC), a thyroid panel, and a complete blood count. Since ferritin levels need to be optimal (typically above 70 ng/mL) for healthy hair growth, managing this is key. For treatment, we often focus on optimizing iron levels under medical supervision and may consider topical minoxidil to stimulate growth. Please consult a dermatologist or trichologist who can tailor a safe, personalized plan for you.
