Hi...

It seems that you may be having a condition known as telogen effluvium.

I would like to say few things about telogen effluvium. It is a 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 like anticancer ..methotraxate ,internal diseases,anaemia,nutritional deficiencies..... etc might precipitate the disease. 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 for firm diagnosis and treatment.Investigations may be done to rule out thyroid disease and other internal diseases. If they are there,proper treatment may be taken.

I generally treat my patients in following ways..

-Nutritional deficiencies may be treated.
-Tab Biotin 10 mg daily may be taken for long time.
-Vitamin E cap 400 mg daily may be taken.
-Minerals like iron, calcium, zinc..etc may be taken in proper dose.
-Mild steroid lotion 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.

Above treatment is not pprescription..you consult dermatologist to have prescription.

Be confident for the 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.
