Why do I have poor hair growth and dark circles at 21?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I completely understand that you are going through a difficult situation, but please do not worry; it is very manageable.

To understand the cause of your hair loss, dark circles, and white nails, I will need a clearer picture of your eyebrows (close-up), your nails on one hand, and your under-eye area, along with some important medical history. This will help me rule out possible causes such as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), thyroid issues, anemia, nutritional deficiencies, or stress-related changes.

Please tell me whether your periods are regular or delayed, and if you experience acne, hair fall, weight gain, or any facial hair, such as upper-lip or chin hair, or if you have ever been diagnosed with PCOS. I also need to know if you often feel tired, dizzy, or short of breath, or if you have had any recent blood loss, such as heavy periods or nosebleeds. Additionally, let me know if you have ever checked your hemoglobin, serum iron, ferritin, or vitamin B12 levels.

Please also mention any thyroid-related symptoms, such as recent weight changes, feeling unusually cold or tired, or noticing hair thinning on your scalp or eyebrows, as well as any family history of thyroid disease. Let me know if you have had any major stress, illness, or hospital admission in the past three to six months.

Lastly, please share your weight and height. Send me the pictures and answer these questions, and I will guide you on how to manage this effectively.

I am here to help you figure this out safely.

Kind regards.
