Hi...

You seem to have telogen effluvium ..... There may be some cause....like anaemia,vitamin and nutritional deficiencies,thyroid dysfunction, stress, anxiety,worries,travelling,any other internal disease,certain drugs.... ..etc. Poor hygiene and poor nutrition may also be responsible for telogen effluvium. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Investigations may be done to find out the causes.

To controll hair fall and to improve hair growth you may take biotin 10 tab daily for few months and apply mild steroid lotion on scalp at night daily.. If you have dandruff use anti dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole. For hair oiling and shampoo use herbal preparations. Take treatment for few years.

Have patience..for the good result.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks..

Hello and welcome to HCM,
You seem to be suffering from telogen effluvium or excessive hair fall.
In your case, the hair fall ,maybe prolonged due to many factors as well, such as poor nutrition, stress, lack of rest, low iron and hemoglobin levels, hormonal changes, also any history of thyroid disorders etc. Dandruff,Chemical treatments on hair can also aggravate hair fall.
Also, since you have a family history of hair loss and thinning, you will be more prone to similar problems.
Any history of recent fever, typhoid. Change of residence , water supply etc.

These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth.
You can consult a dermatologist regarding any blood tests that may be required to diagnose the causes. They can assess your hair in person and advise accordingly.
For now you may start a Recute solution or Tress gro to scalp at night , along with hair supplements daily like VB7 Forte capsules. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months to see results. Use mild shampoo and conditioner. Anaphase or Renocia shampoo will help.

Do start with the treatment as advised and see a doctor.

If your hair is very thin and scanty on the scalp, and medical methods do not work well for you,after a few months of observation, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP, as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation, if they feel that it will be a good option for you. But they are not necessary for you now.
Also get a good nutritious diet, avoid stress,pollution, get good rest.
Hope this guides you
