Hi,

You seem to have telogen effluvium. There may be some cause. In your case most probable cause may be thyroid dysfunction.

Please take regular treatment for hypothyroidism..you are taking thyronorm 100, continue it and have regular check up for thyroid dysfunction. Consult physician or endocrinologist.

Take biotin containing tab for long time. Apply mild steroid lotion like mometasone lotion daily at night. And have herbal shampoo. Almond oil you may apply to improve the quality of the shaft of hairs.

Have patience and positive approach. You might get good result after few months.

Thanks.
