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. and you have thyroid dysfunction which might be responsible in your case.
And remember that normal hair fall in adult may be 100 to 150 per day. So, please avoid anxiety related with hair fall.
You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Blood tests may be done to rule out internal diseases.
There are so many preparations in market used for such problem. But, take treatment after visiting the dermatologist.
He might prescribe biotin containing tablets for long time along with vitamin E cap. And mild steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion may be suggested for application on scalp at night. Mild herbal shampoo to cleanse the scalp and almond oil as hair oil may be used. Have patience for the result. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
