Hi Rehana...

You seem to have telogen effluvium. It is condition in which hair fall occurs in telogen stage of hair cycle. There may ne some cause. Stress,anxiety,thyroid dysfunction,fever like typhoid,surgery,trauma,drugs like anticancer ..methotraxate ,internal diseases,anaemia,nutritional deficiencies..... etc might precipitate the disease. Excessive sun exposure may be resposible for the disease. Dandruff should be ruled out. If it is there, ketoconazole shampoo may be used to cleanse the scalp. You consult dermatologist.

Investigations may be done to rule out internal diseases. If they are there,proper treatment may be taken.

Nutritional supplimentation is needed in proper way. Biotin,vitamin E,iron, calcium, zinc..etc may be taken. Mild steroid lotion may be applied on the scalp.
Mild herbal shampoo may be done twice a week. Oil like almond may be applied on hairs to improve hair shaft quality.

Avoid tesion and worries. Be positive. You may feel better after few months treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
