Consultant recommendation for hair loss

Hi
I have been losing masses of hair abd would like to see a dermatologist privately. I had all my bloods checked. Thyroid was normal but I have too much iron in my system. Has anyone seen a consultant they were happy with?

Is the cause of the excess iron being investigated? Exces iron is quite unusual and can be indicative of a more significant problem, e.g heamochromatosis. The hair loss could be a symptom of that.

Hi eggs
Thanks for responding. I will see a hematologist to this further. My endocrinologist was baffled. I don't think my parents have haemochromatosis as both are on iron tablets. She asked repeatedly if I was on supplements and I told her it had been a few years since I took any. She said I could have had some sort if infecion but surely I would have known about it. It is very strange.
