Hi,

It seems that you may be be having telogen effluvium. The hair fall is increased in telogen stage. Hair become sparse. There may be some cause. Stress,anxiety, anaemia,nutritional deficiencies,internal diseases,thyroid dysfunction, drugs...etc might cause telogen effluvium.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Blood investigations may be done to rule out internal diseases.

Mild steroid lotion may be applied on the scalp,as your doctor prescribed. It might stimulate hair growth and cause good result,so do not remain confused. Biotin tab 10 mg twice day would be helpful. Get treatment of underlying disease. You might get good result.

Thanks.
