Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Probably you may be having telogen effluvium.. It may be due to some cause. Most common cause is psychological upsets like anxiety,worries,tension or depression. Other causes may be thyroid dysfunction, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, anaemia, other internal diseases,drugs..etc

Normal hair fall in adult may be 100 to 150 per day.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Blood investigations may be done to find out some internal cause. If there is anaemia,iron preparations may be taken. If vitamin B12 deficiency, take inj B12 twice a week intramuscularly. Any other internal disease is found,treat it.

You may take biotin containing tablets for long time along with vitamin E cap. You may apply mild steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion on scalp at night. Mild herbal shampoo and almond oil may be used. Have patience for the result. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
