Hi,

It seems that probably you may be having telogen effluvium. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the firm diagnosis. There are many causes of telogen effluvium. Blood tests may be done. Anaemia,vitamin and mineral deficiencies, stress,thyroid dysfunction,typhoid, other internal diseases may be responsible.

I would suggest..

- removal or treatment of the cause
- local application of mild steroid lotion
- biotin 10 mg daily
- vitamin E 400 mg once a day
- oil application on hairs ...like almond oil
- cleansing the scalp with herbal shampoo
- if dandruff is there,treat with ketoconazole shampoo

I hope this would help.
