Brief Answer:
Minoxidil 2 percent lotion, hair supplements
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and stress can lead to hair loss.
I would recommend you to apply minoxidil 2 percent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily for 12-16 weeks and take hair supplements containing biotin once daily for 12-16 weeks.
Also you can continue with steroid shots.
