Telogen Effluvium
I've already visited a dermatologist and she has confirmed that I'm suffering from Telogen Effluvium due to Dengue fever. I'm experiencing very scary, excess,massive, palm-full hair fall daily. I'm dying everyday internally. It seems like I'm going to loose all my hair soon. In only 15 days my hair became half of usual. I'm loosing my self confidence and feeling like hiding myself somewhere. What should I be suggested? Will it be better to use a wig and wait for something good ? Can I get my hair back? Is there any chance that I'll go bald ? this is a very depressing experience I'm going through. Need a suggestion. Thank you very much in advance

Would highly recommend Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment in conjunction with Oral Nutritional and Topical Application supplements to boost your hair with abundant active growth factors that shorten the Telogen (falling)Phase and fasten the onset of Anagen (Active growth) phase.
Results with PRP in Telogen Effluvium are seen as soon as few days following the first session itself.
Next Steps
You hair will certainly revive back with time and proper intervention.Be Patient,Positive and Avoid Stress as it might aggravate the ongoing process.
See the Doctor and initiate the required treatment.
Health Tips

Your hair (after an acute illness) undergoes severe trauma where no nutrition is supplied to it. So , all your hair that is in the growth phase(anagen)gets 'thrown ' into the falling phase (Telogen). So for the hair to grow back (Anagen phase) it will take anywhere between 6 to 8 months. The maths is confusing so I will not confuse you further :) . All I will say is that don't worry . Continue the treatment with your current dermatologist and trust your dermatologist. Things should be fine.
