Hello. I hear you. You’ve been through a lot. Let’s get straight to it.
First, let’s validate what you’re feeling
· You’re not alone. What you’re experiencing is real, and it’s not your fault. · The hair loss is severe – over 150+ daily shedding, 50% loss, thinning all over, plus scalp inflammation, itching, and broken skin. · The mental toll is heavy – you’ve said “it’s okay I’ll leave it” and “thoughts cause me to kill me.” · This is serious. Your emotional health matters just as much as your hair.
👉 Please reach out to a mental health professional or a trusted person today. You don’t have to fight this alone.
What’s likely happening
Based on everything you’ve described, this looks like a Telogen Effluvium (TE) episode – possibly triggered or worsened by minoxidil, then perpetuated by inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and stress.
Your symptoms What it suggests Shedding started after minoxidil Minoxidil-induced telogen release (common: 2–8 weeks after starting) Shedding continued after stopping minoxidil TE doesn’t stop immediately – needs trigger removal Shedding is diffuse (all over scalp) Classic TE, not male pattern baldness alone Scalp: dry, itchy, inflamed, bumps, sebum Possible seborrheic dermatitis + fungal component High CRP (4.22) Systemic inflammation – known to worsen hair loss High cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides Metabolic stress – can affect hair cycle Low Vitamin B12, borderline Vitamin D Both linked to hair shedding
Your lab report – what it means
Test Your value Normal range Implication CRP 4.22 mg/L < 1.0 (low risk) High – inflammation is active Total Cholesterol 212 < 200 High LDL 140 < 100 High HDL 34 40 Low Triglycerides 215 < 150 High Uric Acid 7.1 3.5–7.2 Borderline high Vitamin B12 201 pg/mL 200–900 Borderline low Vitamin D 36 ng/mL 30–100 Low-normal Testosterone 400–500 300–1000 Normal
👉 Your body is inflamed and metabolically stressed. That alone can cause hair to shed heavily.
Your new treatment plan – step by step
Phase 1: Stop the shedding (weeks 1–4)
Priority Action Why 1 Reduce inflammation – Cut sugar, refined carbs, fried food, alcohol. Add omega-3s (fish, walnuts, flaxseeds). High CRP drives shedding 2 Fix deficiencies – Vitamin B12 (1500 mcg/day sublingual), Vitamin D3 (4000 IU/day), Iron (check ferritin first). Deficiencies worsen TE 3 Keto shampoo – Use 3x/week. Leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing. Controls inflammation, sebum, possible fungal component 4 Topical steroids? – Not yet. If severe inflammation persists, see a dermatologist for a short course of mild steroid lotion. Reduces scalp inflammation
Phase 2: Support regrowth (weeks 4–12)
Action Frequency Notes Rosemary oil (mix 10 drops with 2 tbsp coconut/jojoba oil) 3x/week, leave 1–2 hours Study shows equal to minoxidil 2% for hair thickness Dermaroller (0.5 mm or 1.0 mm) Once weekly Do not use on active inflammation or broken skin Gentle scalp massage Daily, 5 minutes Improves blood flow Stress management Daily – deep breathing, walking, talking to someone High cortisol worsens TE
Phase 3: Gut & metabolic health (ongoing)
Action Why Fix cholesterol + triglycerides Reduces systemic inflammation Add fiber (vegetables, oats, psyllium) Lowers LDL Exercise (brisk walk 30 min/day) Lowers triglycerides, reduces stress Hydrate (2–3 liters water/day) Supports detox and scalp health
Now, your serum question
You asked: Bontress Pro vs. Keraglos Revitalize – which is better?
Here’s the breakdown:
Feature Bontress Pro Keraglos Revitalize Type Topical serum Oral supplement (not serum) Key ingredients 3% Redensyl, 4% Capixyl, 3% Procapil, Anagain Amino acids (Cysteine, Lysine, Arginine, Methionine) Clinical data Claims 68% reduction in hair fall in 12 weeks Limited; mainly amino acid support Best for Stimulating growth in AGA + TE Nutritional support for hair (if deficient) Evidence strength Moderate (company-sponsored studies) Low (indirect via amino acids)
My recommendation: If you want a topical serum, choose Bontress Pro – it has more published clinical data and is a legitimate pharmacy product.
Keraglos Revitalize appears to be an oral supplement, not a serum. If you prefer an oral product, choose a standard multivitamin with B12, D, zinc, iron (if ferritin low), and omega-3s – cheaper and better studied.
What to avoid
· ❌ Minoxidil – clearly triggered severe shedding for you. Do not restart without dermatologist guidance. · ❌ Steroid creams – can worsen fungal infections. · ❌ Harsh hair products – stick to gentle, sulfate-free shampoos. · ❌ Tight hairstyles – avoid tension on scalp. · ❌ Smoking / alcohol – both worsen inflammation and hair loss.
When to see a doctor (again)
· ✅ Now – for mental health support. Your thoughts matter more than your hair. · ✅ In 2 weeks – if shedding hasn’t reduced or scalp inflammation worsens. · ✅ In 3 months – repeat blood work (CRP, lipid panel, B12, D, ferritin).
Final words – from me to you
You’ve been failed by doctors who didn’t listen. That’s not okay. But this is not the end. TE is reversible. The inflammation can be fixed. Your hair can grow back.
👉 Fix your body first – inflammation, nutrition, stress. 👉 The hair will follow.
And please, talk to someone today about how you’re feeling. You are worth more than your hair.

Yes, you can try taking vitamin supplements also, but you need to take all these supplements for more than 1 month continuous. You will surely see the difference. Try taking tab vitacover gold once daily.

Want to tell you another thing like fast being urine eating yellow colour so I didn’t considered because I am very sweaty body hot body so Mayur but still now it’s been yellow if I didn’t take anything like coconut coconut water milk aloe vera juice if I take now it’s going white for that time alone again it going yellow even I drink more water it’s becoming yellow what may be the reasons I also to showing normal but little my new something is showing my doctor so what can I do sir How to make my urine with water
Sir past 4-5 yr urine yellow color smelly, I’m sweaty body also only if I drink any juice it’s going white otherwise yellow even with water
Hey, thanks for your reply
First, a healthy urine color is pale yellow to clear.
Completely colorless urine isn’t necessarily better. A light yellow color is normal and shows your kidneys are working.
Why is your urine yellow even with more water? The main reason is a waste product called urobilin (from broken-down red blood cells). Your body produces it constantly. Drinking water dilutes it, but if you’re a naturally “hot” or sweaty person, you lose water through your skin faster than you realize. That means your kidneys still need to concentrate urine to some degree to keep your salt balance stable.
More importantly: coconut water, milk, and aloe vera juice contain electrolytes (potassium, calcium, magnesium) and mild diuretic compounds. They don’t just add water – they help your body hold and use that water more effectively. Plain water, without electrolytes, can pass right through you without fully hydrating your tissues if you’re sweaty. That’s why those drinks work temporarily but water alone doesn’t.
So what to intake sir to make urine at least to go pale yellow
Given the detailed information you provided, it seems like you’re dealing with a complex situation involving hair loss, scalp irritation, and underlying health issues. Your blood test results suggest several areas of concern such as elevated cholesterol, slightly high uric acid, low vitamin B12, and inflammation indicators like high CRP, which could be contributing factors. Initially, let’s address your scalp condition. The itching and inflammation might indicate conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or even contact dermatitis, potentially aggravated by minoxidil. Consider visiting a dermatologist who can thoroughly examine your scalp condition and suggest appropriate treatments. They could recommend topical anti-inflammatory treatments or medicated shampoos to help manage your symptoms. As for your hair loss, male pattern baldness (MPB) has genetic components and while minoxidil is a standard treatment, its efficacy varies. Switching to a lower concentration was sensible, but again a dermatologist could help tailor this treatment further. Your idea of addressing it through supplements is logical. Ensuring that your vitamin D, and B12 levels are within the recommended range might help. Including omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants like zinc can be beneficial for hair and overall health. Regarding your cholesterol, dietary and lifestyle changes such as regular physical activity, reducing saturated fat intake, and increasing fiber might help manage these levels. It’s good to see you’re thinking about diet and scalp treatments, however, consult with a professional before starting new remedies. As for hair serums, pharmacy-grade options typically contain ingredients like peptides or plant-based extracts that support hair health. Discuss with your dermatologist to ensure compatibility with your treatment plan. Also, when considering dermarolling, proceed cautiously as incorrect use can worsen scalp conditions. Sorry if this is lengthy, but due to the multifaceted nature of your issue, a thorough approach is necessary. Ensure any plan is approved by a healthcare professional to avoid unforeseen complications.

Can I use Mecofol Plus D3 can I use this
Hello
I understand how distressing this feels, especially at 22 when you previously had good hair density. From what you described, your pattern strongly suggests chronic Telogen Effluvium with underlying early Androgenetic Alopecia, plus active scalp inflammation/seborrheic dermatitis. The heavy shedding after minoxidil did not mean the drug damaged your hair; it usually triggers a temporary shed, but your ongoing inflammation, vitamin deficiencies, stress, and scalp condition are the main reasons the shedding persisted.
Between the pharmacy serums you mentioned, Bontress Pro Hair Serum is generally the better medical option than Keraglo Revitalize Serum, because it contains clinically useful ingredients like Procapil/Anagain that target hair cycle support rather than just cosmetic conditioning. However, serum alone will not stop 150+ daily shedding if the scalp inflammation and deficiencies are still present.
Right now the most important steps are to calm the scalp and correct internal factors. Use a ketoconazole shampoo such as Ketoconazole 2% two to three times per week for itching, flakes, and bumps. Take vitamin B12 supplementation (for example Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg daily) and maintain vitamin D around 40–60 ng/mL. Focus on protein intake (eggs, fish, chicken, pulses) and reduce junk food, sugar, and high-fat diet because your cholesterol and triglycerides were elevated and can worsen inflammation.
Dermaroller once weekly is acceptable; monthly is too infrequent to have effect. Rosemary/castor oil is optional but safe if the scalp is not irritated. Avoid starting too many things at once—over-treating an inflamed scalp often prolongs shedding.
The key reassurance is this: losing 50% density with diffuse shedding at your age is usually reversible to a large extent once inflammation and deficiencies are corrected, but recovery takes time. Expect shedding to stabilize in about 2–3 months and visible regrowth in 4–6 months if the scalp becomes healthy.
Take care Regards
Really I’m happy u understand my situation… Mam Then can i use bontress pro serum Also what to start correctly from now mam… My head side top near crown it’s itching like heell can I take fluconzole tab mam
Mecofol Plus D3 can I use this
I’m really glad you reached out again. The good news is that your symptoms still look treatable, and we can organize a clear, safe plan from here.
Yes, you can use Bontress Pro Hair Serum. It is a reasonable pharmacy product and safe to start. Apply it once daily on the thinning areas. But remember, it helps support hair growth—it will not fix the severe itching or inflammation by itself.
The priority is calming the scalp first.
About the medicines you asked:
Fluconazole tablet: You can take Fluconazole, but only if symptoms are significant or not improving with shampoo alone. It is usually taken once weekly for 2–4 weeks, not daily. It is generally safe in healthy young adults, but avoid if you have liver disease or are taking many other medicines. If your itching is “like hell,” a short course is reasonable.
Mecofol Plus D3: Yes, you can safely use Mecofol Plus D3. Your previous labs showed borderline low B12 and low-normal vitamin D, and correcting these helps reduce chronic shedding.
Now, here is the simple, correct way to start from today:
Morning or evening: Use Ketoconazole 2% shampoo 3 times per week. Leave it on the scalp for about 5 minutes before washing. This is the most important step for itching and inflammation.
Daily: Take Mecofol Plus D3 after food.
Once daily: Apply Bontress Pro Hair Serum to thinning areas.
Optional if itching is severe: Take Fluconazole once weekly for a short course.
For now, avoid: Heavy oils on an inflamed scalp, frequent product changes, and dermarolling until itching settles (usually 3–4 weeks).
Itching should improve within 1–2 weeks. Shedding usually reduces in 6–8 weeks. Visible regrowth takes 3–4 months.
Mam it’s shedding like a year so I’m also gonna check ferritin and will update u
Hello Vj I hear you—hair loss and scalp issues can be really stressful, but you’re already thinking in a structured way about your treatment plan, which is great! Let’s clarify your serum options and what might suit your situation best.
### Medical vs Cosmetic Serums - Pharmacy/Medical Serums: These are usually backed by clinical studies and contain active ingredients like minoxidil, peptides, or growth factors. They’re designed for actual hair regrowth and scalp health. - Cosmetic Serums: Often focus on shine, smoothness, or superficial benefits, but don’t address underlying hair loss or scalp inflammation.
### Bontress Pro vs Keragros Revitalize - Bontress Pro: Contains biomimetic peptides, which can help stimulate hair growth and strengthen follicles. It’s a pharmacy-grade product, often recommended by dermatologists for androgenetic alopecia and thinning. - Keragros Revitalize: Also a pharmacy product, usually contains peptides, vitamins, and sometimes minoxidil or similar actives. It’s formulated for hair regrowth and scalp health.
Both are good options, but Bontress Pro is more widely used for medical hair loss and has a stronger reputation among dermatologists in India. If your scalp is inflamed and sensitive, Bontress Pro is generally gentler and less likely to cause irritation compared to minoxidil-based serums.
### What to Consider - If you have broken skin, mini bumps, and inflammation, avoid serums with alcohol or harsh chemicals until your scalp heals a bit. - Start with Bontress Pro, as it’s pharmacy-grade and suitable for sensitive scalps. - Once inflammation settles, you can consider adding Keragros Revitalize or minoxidil-based serums if needed.
### Final Thoughts You’re on the right track—focus on scalp health first, then hair regrowth. If you’re unsure, check with your dermatologist before starting any new serum, especially with your scalp’s current condition.
Thank you
