Hi,

It may be telogen effluvium. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and treatment. There may be some internal disease. Have proper examination and investigations. If some internal problem is found,let it be treated. Anaemia,vitamin deficiencies,thyroid dysfunctions... might cause telogen effluvium.

I would suggest...

- treatment of internal diseases
- biotin 10 mg tab daily
- vitamin E 400 mg cap daily
- avoid tension and stress
- apply minoxidil 5% solution on scalp twice a day
- if dandruff is there,ketoconazole containing shampoo may be used

I hope this would help you..

Thanks.
