Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think that probably you may be having Telogen Effluvium in which one has hair fall in telogen stage excessively. I would recommend you to consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. However,you may take biotin tablets thrice a day,vitamin E cap daily and if needed, iron and vitamin B12 tablets daily. Have thyroid function test to rule out thyroid dysfunction like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp. For dandruff, Ketoconazole shampoo may be used. Avoid worries, tension and sleeplessness. Be relaxed and positive. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Dr.Ilyas Patel MD

It seems at the moment your dandruff could be one of the causes for your hairfal. Start using Scalpe anti dandruff shampoo. Make sure you leave it on wet scalp for 7-8 mins before washing it off. Repeat this once every 2 days till the dandruff reduces considerably.
