Hi,
You seem to suffer from telogen effluvium. Consult the expert dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would suggest..
- blood tests to detect internal diseases ..like serum vitamin B 12, folate,iron,vitamin D3, liver function tests,thyroid function tests
- treatment of internal diseases
- supplements of vitamins and minerals
- biotin 10 mg tablet thrice daily
- iron and vitamins in the form of injection or tablets if needed
- vitamin E 400 mg once a day
- apply steroid lotion on the scalp daily at night
- anti dandruff shampoo like ketoconazole shampoo if there is dandruff.. otherwise mild herbal shampoo twice a week
- oiling the hairs with almond oil after shampooing the the scalp
- be positive and avoid tension and worries
- do exercise and yoga
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
