Hi. This is very common and is commonly referred to as Acute Telogen Effluvium. This usually resolves in 2 to 6 weeks, may be a little longer upto 12 weeks in some. Maintain a good, healthy, nutritious balanced diet and it will improve over time. If it's not getting better, you could try certain peptide based lotions by discussing with a qualified dermatologist online or near you. Warm regards, Dr Govind.
