Hello! I’m sorry to hear about your hair thinning due to telogen effluvium after malaria, and I understand how it’s affecting your mental health. Hair regrowth is often possible after resolving the underlying cause, but the extent depends on individual factors. A hair transplant might be an option, though it’s not always necessary. I cannot provide specific recommendations without a detailed assessment. I strongly suggest scheduling an online consultation with me to evaluate your scalp health and discuss regrowth possibilities.
Next Steps
Please book an online consultation with me at the earliest to review your condition and get personalized advice.
Health Tips
Maintain a balanced diet and avoid stress to support hair health. Avoid making decisions about transplants without professional guidance, and seek expert opinion for the best approach.

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.

Post-malaria telogen effluvium is common and usually reversible. Hair shedding should reduce in 2–3 months. Eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and consider supplements if advised. Hair density will gradually improve.
Next Steps
If hair fall hasn’t reduced after 3 months, it may need further evaluation for nutritional deficiencies (iron, Vit D, B12), thyroid issues, or underlying chronic telogen effluvium. Please consult a dermatologist for proper assessment and treatment.
