Hairfall after chickenpox

2016-07-10 18:58:26
I just recovered from chickenpox and I'm losing a lot of hair, nearly around 500 strands per day. In just 10 to 12 days I almost lost 25% of my hair. What should I do? And suddenly fat is getting deposited around stomach area. My flat belly has become bulkier one. Is this a serious issue? What should I do?

Hello, at times the hairs go in Telogen effluvium in some acute stress which leads to sudden hair loss and in great numbers. Gradually over a period of time they recover. Hair Supplements should help.
