Hi Priyanka,

Welcome to HCM,

You seem to have telogen effluvium. There may be some cause. Stress,anxiety, fever like typhoid, accidents,trauma,surgery,drugs,thyroid dysfunctions,anaemia, nutritional deficiencies,any internal disease....etc. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Blood tests may be done to find out some cause.
If some cause is detected, it should be treated. Biotin containing tablets like tab biot forte 10 mg may be taken for long time. Vitamin E, folic acid and iron may be taken. Apply mild steroid lotion daily at night. If there is dandruff, shampoo containing ketoconazole may be used to cleanse the scalp. Otherwise,herbal shampoo may be used. Oil like almond oil may be applied to improve hair shaft quality. I hope, your hair fall may be refuced after few months treatment. I think, you may be benefitted by my answer.

Thanks.

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
