I used clobetasol ,ketoconazole, fungul tablets and recently i used Candid tv by glenmark company shampoo which has made my situation worse. i dont know what to do now, because this thing is giving me such a hard time right now i am fearing going bald because i can see my scalp now , almost more than 100 hair come out once i touch my hair. Do you want me to take some tablets for hair or some thing or can you prescribe me something which can stop my hairfall effectively.
