i'm 31 years old and have 3 good sized bald spots on my head, and the rest of it is very thin. my ponytail now is the size of one of my pigtails 10 years ago. i was tested and was found to have a significant vitamin d deficiency. where levels are generally 50-80, mine is 17. i am taking 50,000 units twice a week as prescribed by my doctor and will be tested again in a few months. my question is this: once my vitamin d is balanced out, will the hair grow back?Vitamin d deficiency and hair loss...help!?
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to hair loss but too much Vitamin D can also cause hair loss. Mega doses of vitamin D can be toxic and can cause imbalances with other minerals such as calcium and phosphorous. Hair that falls out in patches is mostly associated with alopecia areata which is an autoimmune condition. Proper vitamin D levels help inhibit autoimmunity. If Vitamin D deficiency is the only cause of your hair loss, your hair may respond very well once the levels are in the normal range.Vitamin d deficiency and hair loss...help!?
It depends. My Dad had a severe case of alopecia but when his stress went away (he learned to deal with it), his hair grew back. I have a thyroid problem and my hair is thinning. Mine will never grow back because the place where the hair exits the head is damaged and can not be repaired or fixed.
I know those are not cases dealing with vit D deficiency, but it does illustrate how hair will regrow with some and not with others. Ask your doc, he should know.
If your hair loss was due to Vit D deficiency, then once your blood level is within the normal range, the hair condition should also become thicker.
i'd say go see your Doctor %26amp; find out all the details %26amp; how to fix it.
