Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Currently I am 21.5 years old Hi I suffered from Typhoid in July 2010.Hair fall started around September mid. In early days it was heavy hair loss. The bedsheet and pillow used to have a lot of hair strands.I used a homeopathic medicine and got my head shaved in Feb 2011. After that there was no further hair loss. But now again since 1 month I am observing hair loss. Around 10-15 strands per day. Density of my hair has also reduce.Kindly guide me.
You seem to have telogen effluvium. You had enteric fever in past. Due to that you had severe hair fall. But, then you were alright. Now you got hair loss again. The reason may be different. It may be tension,vitamin deficiencies,anaemia,thyroid dysfunction or some other. You consult dermatologist to have perfect diagnosis. After thorough examination and investigations,some conclusion may be there.
I would like to suggest as below..
- biotin 10 mg tab daily - vitamin E 400 mg daily - if needed..vitamin b complex and iron preparation - if some cause is found..treatment may be taken - mild steroid lotion to apply on scalp at night - herbal shampoo and oil may be used
Have patience for the good result. Take long time treatment.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
