Hi...
You and your mother seem to have telogen effluvium ..... There may be some cause....like anaemia,vitamin and nutritional deficiencies,thyroid dysfunction, stress, anxiety,worries,travelling,any other internal disease,certain drugs.... ..etc. Poor hygiene and poor nutrition may also be responsible for the telogen effluvium.You both consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Investigations may be done to find out some cause.
To controll hair fall and to improve hair growth you both may take biotin 10 tab daily for few months and apply mild steroid lotion on scalp at night daily. If there is dandruff ...use anti dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole. For hair oiling and shampoo use herbal preparations. Take treatment for few years to get good result.
Have patience...
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
