@dimple-mehra Hello, This occurs usually two to three months after an illness like dengue, typhoid, etc. This may continue for a few days to weeks. The hair usually comes back and grows normally after this episode. If very severe or persists for a longer duration, it may be worthwhile visiting a qualified dermatologist.
Maintain a healthy diet with vegetables, fruits, and proteins. Avoid harsh shampoos and avoid shampooing daily.
