Hi Piya You seem to have telogen effluvium ..... There may be some cause....like anaemia,vitamin and nutritional deficiencies,thyroid dysfunction, stress, anxiety,worries,travelling,any other internal disease,certain drugs.... ..etc. Poor hygiene and poor nutrition may be responsible for telogen effluvium. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.Investigations may be done to find out some cause. To controll hair fall and to improve hair growth you may take biotin 10 tab daily for few months and apply mild steroid lotion on scalp at night daily. Kindly avoid minoxidil application. If you have dandruff use anti dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole. For hair oiling and shampoo use herbal preparations. Take treatment for few years. Have patience..for the good result. I hope this would help you. Thanks. Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
