General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello thank you for writing us here.
Possibly could be fungal infection. I would suggest you take ketoconazole 200mg for 2 days taken daily.
Also make sure your hair get enough proteins for repair. A good conditioner would do well. Also you can use coconut oil twice a week. You'll be alright after the course ends.
God bless you.

Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
