A member asked:
I have lost 30% of my hair in last 4 months and there is excess oily dandruff too. could it be androgenic alopecia or telogen effluvium ?

Suspect seborrhea: I'd favor seborrheic dermatitis involving the scalp which can be treated; telogen effluvium is my second choice. How is your thyroid? You need to be seen by a competent dermatologist.
