Hi,

Probably you may be having telogen effluvium.. It may be due to some cause. Most common cause is psychological upsets like anxiety,worries, tension or depression. Other causes may be thyroid dysfunction, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, anaemia, other internal diseases,drugs..etc.

Normal hair fall in adult may be 100 to 150 per day.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Blood investigations may be done to find out some other internal cause.

You may continue to take biotin containing tablets trichoton as you take for long time along with vitamin E cap. You may apply mild steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion on scalp at night. Or Minoxidil 2% application twice a day might be helpful.Mild herbal shampoo may be used to cleanse the scalp.Have patience for the result. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
