Brief Answer:
Telogen effluvium most probably

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HCM....

I can understand your concern for hairfall and thinning of hairshaft which recurred. This seems to be a condition called telogen effluvium. Better you consult the dermatologist again and have proper treatment. Otherwise,you may restart the treatment as used before.

But, I would like to suggest..

- biotin 10 mg tab daily
- vitamin E 400 mg cap daily
- treatment of disease...stress,anaemia,thyroid dysfunction or other
- minoxidil 5% solution to apply twice a day
- herbal shampoo twice a week

Have patience and continue treatment for more than 6 months upto 2 years. I hope you might get good result.

Thanks.
