Greetings! You seem to be suffering from Acute Telogen effluvium. This usually occurs after an acute illness like typhoid / dengue / corona etc. This is usually self limiting and hair fall can resolve in about 3 months. However sometimes this may be worse due to other causes of hair fall like hormonal imbalance and nutritional deficiencies. In such cases it's advisable to see a qualified dermatologist especially if hair fall is severe and persistent. Even use of peptide based serums under prescription is helpful in some patients. Hope this helps! Dr Govind S Mittal, Therapeia Skin Hair and ENT centre, Bengaluru.
