Hi, thank you for putting up your query on Chat Doctor. As per your history, you have halogen effluvium which usually occurs after an illness.-- it is a self limiting disease.-- you need not worry much, as stress aggravates the hair fall.-- it will take around 3-6 months for disease to cease.--you may take cap evil once a day.-- adequate dietary intake in the form of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables and applying hair oil like coconut oil twice a week ill help.-- avoid hair cosmetic products, use herbal shampoos twice a week.-- avoid external trauma to hair in the form of straightening, curling and hair spa.-- topical minoxidil can be tried, but it has to be started only after consulting a dermatologist. Wising you good health. Thank you
