Facing Severe Hairfall

2016-12-02 19:38:55
I am experiencing severe hairfall (more than 100 hairs a day) from about a week which happened kind of suddenly. Previously I've never seen more than 3-5 hairs in the comb but now hairs keep falling throughout the day. I don't have dandruff issues and hairs were strong too. I don't have stress issues. I've had dengue about 2 months ago with calcium deficiency for which I took prescribed multivitamins. I also had lower protein levels in the past. Can this be some deficiency or anything else. Kindly suggest

What you are facing is the acute telogen effluvium. It's a condition that happens few months after any stressful condition like physical or mental stress or any illness like typhoid malaria dengue or any surgery. Most probably you will regain all your hairs back in few months. But still my advice will be to get yourself examined by a dermatologist and get expert treatment.
