Hi....

Mentioning the gender is important.

You have not mentioned your gender..If you are male,you are likely to have initial phase of androgenetic alopecia. You may apply minoxidil 10% solution twice day and avoid oil application. Take finesteride 1 mg once day.

If are female,you are likely 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. and Poor hygiene and poor nutrition may be responsible for telogen effluvium.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. For hair oiling and shampoo use herbal preparations. Take treatment for few years.

Please consult dermatologist to have firm diagnosis.

Have patience..for the good result.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
