Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

I can understand your concern for hair loss. But,you not mentioned about your gender and age. I deeply feel that most probably you may be having telogen effluvium.

You may follow...

- biotin containing tablets
- iron preparation
- vitamin E
- apply mild steroid lotion at night on the affected scalp
- mild herbal shampoo
- almond oil

You consult the dermatologist for the firm diagnosis and perfect treatment.

Thanks..

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
