Hair loss

About 10 years ago I lost about an inch of hair from my fringe. Saw the GP at the time and was just told to take iron. I did, but no hair grew back, so I just styled my hair forward to cover it.
Now, when I go to the gym and get sweaty, it’s quite obvious.
Is there any I can do about it now ? Has anyone had any success with a trichologist ?

Tried all sorts of supplements. Recently started a combination of finestrad and minoxidil. Now have baby hairs sprouting from bald patches three months in

Please revisit the GP. Hair loss can be down to things other than iron and would need specific blood tests to check e.g.

Vitamin D deficiency
B12/folate deficiency
Thyroid issues etc
