Dermatologist 's  Response
hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, you have telogen effluvium which usually occurs after a illness.
-- it is a self limiting disease.
-- you need not to worry much, as stress aggravates the hair fall.
-- it will take around 3-6 months for disease to cease.
--you may take cap zevit once a day.
-- adequate dietary intake in the form of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables and applying hair oil like coconut oil twice a week ill help.
-- avoid hair cosmetic products, use herbal shampoos twice a week.
-- avoid external trauma to hair in the form of straightening, curling and hair spa.
-- topical minoxidil can be tried, but it has to be started only after consulting a dermatologist.
wising you good health.
thank you
