View allI've been dealing with telogen effluvium after recently having a fever, and I'm really worried about how long this might last. Can you give me an idea about the typical duration for this to go away? I'm just feeling a bit anxious about it.
Telogen effluvium after fever typically lasts for about 6 months. During this time, it is important to ensure you are getting adequate nutrition and managing stress levels to support hair regrowth. You can consider using minoxidil solution 2% to promote hair growth.

I've noticed my hair density is thinning, and it's been happening gradually. It's mostly on the top of my head, while the sides and back are still okay. I'm wondering if wearing a helmet to work every day might be part of the problem. Do you think that's possible? Also, what can I do to regain my hair density? Would love some advice on this.
Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
