5 signs of iron deficiency on skin, hair and nails l dermatologist

Iron deficiency anemia can lead to many changes in skin, hair and nails. Iron deficiency is more come on in women than in men.

✅Hairfall : iron deficiency can cause hair fall. Should every patient of hairfall be supplemented with iron. No. But we need to check iron levels when hairfall is troublesome

✅Dark circles: Anemics tend to have exaggerated dark circles. The oxygen carrying capacity of blood is reduced. Reduces blood supply leads to the under eye area appearing darker.

✅Pallor : skin tends to be appear pale. We check the tongue and Palpebral conjunctiva for pallor.

✅Brittle nails and koilonychia: Nails can lack lustre and break easily.

✅Dry skin & itching: iron deficiency can make skin appear dry and itchy. This is more common in patients who already have eczema or atopic dermatitis.

🥗Good sources of iron in diet are :
✔️Vegetarian: green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, soyabean, pulses, beans, whole grains, nuts

✔️Non vegetarian: eggs, chicken, sea food

There are iron capsules available which should always be taken after consulting a doctor. You need to take for 3-6 months if there is a deficiency.

If having this symptoms was a competition, I would be the winner 🏆😂

[sambhavnapandey]

After pregnancy, I noticed my hair fall but I remained calm. I took action to to control it. I chose a health-centered strategy.
I took care of my diet, eating nutrient-rich foods, specially rich in Vitamin E and Protein.
I worked out regularly and engaged in yoga for stress management.
I just stayed away from tight hairstyles and stopped using heated styling tools to prevent hair damage.
I also started using LittleExttra's Coconion shampoo, hair oil combined with a neem wood comb.
The result was hair fall control and the return of my hair.

I think pomegranate, beetroot, carrot, pineapple are best for iron, along with Gud, and black strap molasses, plus use cast iron utensils, raisins also 🎉❤
