Hairfall after dengue fever
I have started experiencing hairfall after dengue. A lot of hairfall happens when I wash my hair and apply oil on my hair. When I move my hand on my hair a lot of hair is plugged out and when I comb my same thing happens a lot of hair again plugged out. I had a dandruff problem when I washed my dandruff gets clean but after two days it comes again in a huge amount which is sticky to my scalp. Don't have any medical history of hair loss. First time experienceing it
