Hi...
It seems that you may be having a condition known as telogen effluvium. It is condition in which the hairs fall in telogen stage of hair cycle. The causes may be many like. ...tension,anxiety,thyroid diseases, endocrinal diseases, hormonal diseases, diseases like typhoid, malaria,viral diseases,surgery,trauma,drugs, internal diseases,anaemia,nutritional deficiencies..... etc might precipitate or exacerbate hair fall.
Excessive sun exposure may be resposible for the disease.
Dandruff may be responsible..it should be ruled out. If it is there, ketoconazole shampoo may be done. You consult dermatologist. Investigations may be done to rule out thyroid disease ,anaemia, and other internal diseases. If they are there,proper treatment may be taken.
Nutritional diet may be taken. Tab Biotin 10 mg daily may be taken for long time with other vitamins and minerals. And also vitamin E cap 400 mg daily may be taken. Mild steroid lotion like mometasone may be applied on the scalp daily at night.
Mild herbal shampoo may be done twice a week. Oil like almond may be applied on hairs to improve hair shaft quality.
Be confident for good result.. Have patience..as the good result takes time. Avoid tesion and worries. Be positive. You may feel better after few months treatment. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
