Hye! You are having Telogen effluvium. Go for blood testing for thyroid , anaemia, sugar, vitamin B12 , other systemic diseases. Apply mild steroid lotion daily at night. Shampoo with ketoconazole containing shampoo twice a week. Dandruff will be controlled. Take biotin 10 mg daily. Vitamin E 400 mg daily. Iron and folic acid may be taken if you are anaemic.And if there is other disease found,take treatment . Improve immunity with good healthy food. Avoid stress, tension. Be positive for the good result. Avoid minoxidil, use almond oil. Ok..

Hello.
Thanks for the query.
Thyroid problem is one of the major cause of hair fall.
stress adds on to this, KINDLY GET YOUR THYROID LEVEL CHECKED.
Vitamins are required for normal growth of hair. Specially vit B 12 that is cobalamine is very important.
1.You can take cobalamine tablet. one tablet daily.
2. please apply minoxidil 5 % solution twice daily.
This will improve your hair and also there will be regrowth.
Only thing is that it will take some time to show its effect., SO KEEP USING IT
Thank you
