Hi,It may be telogen effluvium.... means hair loss in telogen stage. There may be many causes. I think in your case, it may be low serum iron... leading to anaemia. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Iron tablets in proper doses would improve the condition. Along with that you may take biotin containing tablets, vitamin E, folic acid tablets...etc. Avoid oral steroid as it may cause many side effects at long term. Apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp daily at night. You may use herbal shampoo and oil alternate days. Hope this helps.Dr.Ilyas Patel,Dermatologist
