Hi,

You seem to suffer from telogen effluvium most probably. Your hairs are thin you easily bruised and also your nails are thin. All these suggest that probably you may be having some disease like anaemia, thyroid dysfunction or some other internal disease. You kindly consult the dermatologist.

I would suggest...

- blood tests for anaemia,thyroid dysfunction etc..
- mild steroid scalp lotion to apply at night on scalp
- biotin containing capsules daily
- Vitamin E cap 400 mg daily
- anti dandruff shampoo if there is dandruff
- otherwise use herbal shampoo
- almond oil to apply on hairs

Have patience for the good result.. I hope this might help you.

Thanks..
