Brief Answer:
Telogen effluvium

Hello
Thanks for the query.
Yes it is telogen effluvium
The stress also adds on leading to increased haie fall.
You can use 5 % minoxidil lotion twice daily for 6 months.
This will increase blood supply to hair bulb and strengthen them.
Take protein rich diet.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
