Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi...

You seem to have telogen effluvium. It is a condition in which hair fall occurs in telogen stage of hair cycle. There may be some cause. Stress,anxiety,thyroid dysfunction,fever like typhoid,surgery,trauma,internal diseases, anaemia, nutritional deficiencies..... etc might be responsible for the disease. Excessive sun exposure may cause telogen effluvium.

Dandruff is also another cause. If it is there, ketoconazole shampoo may be used to cleanse the scalp.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.

Investigations may be done to rule out internal diseases. If they are there,proper treatment may be taken.

Nutritional supplimentation is needed....You may continue hairbless cap. that contains biotin for long period ..few months to few years. Vitamin E 400 may be taken..Mild steroid lotion may be applied on the scalp.Mild herbal shampoo may be done twice a week.

Avoid tesion and worries. Be positive. Have pateince for the result. You may feel better after few months treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
