Hi,

Welcome to HCM..

You seem to have telogen effluvium. You had enteric fever in past. Due to that you had severe hair fall. But, then you were alright. Now you got hair loss again. The reason may be different. It may be tension,vitamin deficiencies,anaemia,thyroid dysfunction or some other. You consult dermatologist to have perfect diagnosis. After thorough examination and investigations,some conclusion may be there.

I would like to suggest as below..

- biotin 10 mg tab daily
- vitamin E 400 mg daily
- if needed..vitamin b complex and iron preparation
- if some cause is found..treatment may be taken
- mild steroid lotion to apply on scalp at night
- herbal shampoo and oil may be used

Have patience for the good result. Take long time treatment.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
