Sudden hair fall from last 15 days
I am experiencing sudden hair fall and I loose large number of strands when I comb my hair. I had take Chloroquine dose for malaria 3 months ago, also Azithromycin about 2.5 months ago. No family history of baldness. In last 3 months there has been a tremendous stress mentally due to personal problems. I am 35. Hair fall is very visible and sudden.

It's telogen effluvium which is a consequence of malaria. It can be treated. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment.
