You might be suffering from telogen effluvium which is a type of hair fall which usually occurs following systemic ailments .It has a good prognosis and hair regrow in a while. However you may try application of topical minoxidil which can augment hair growth. Oral tablets containing biotin may also be used after consulting your dermatologist. Regards
