Not absolutely necessary...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing telogen effluvium causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Initial hairfall is common and it's bound to occur and in that place new hairfollicles will grow.
Also only biotin doesnot help much you need to use other topical solutions too.
Kindly followup with relevant history.
