Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It seems that probably you may be having telogen effluvium. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some cause like...tension,worries,stress,anaemia,vitamin and mineral deficiencies,thyroid dysfunction or other internal disease. After thorough examination and investigations,your doctor might give proper treatment.

I would suggest...

- treatment of the disease
- supplements for vitamins and minerals
- biotin 10 mg twice a day for few months
- apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp
- ketoconazole shampoo,if there is dandruff ..otherwise herbal shampoo may be used twice a week
- oiling the hairs with almond oil

I hope this might help you in improving the condition.

Thanks.
