I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss. Before I started my TB treatment, my front hairline was already thinning, but once I began the medication, it really got worse, and now I'm losing even more hair. I'm really worried about whether my hair will regrow or not. Is there anything I can do to help my hair grow back?

I've been experiencing rapid hair loss for the past two months. About six months ago, I had dengue and since then, I haven't used any medication for my hair. Also, I'm dealing with pimples on my face. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Can you suggest anything?

I understand your concern about rapid hair fall and pimples. Hair Fall After Dengue Fever 1. Telogen Effluvium: Dengue fever can cause Telogen Effluvium, a condition where hair enters the resting phase and falls out after a few months. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies: Dengue fever can lead to nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can contribute to hair loss. 3. Hormonal Imbalance: Dengue fever can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to hair loss. Pimples and Hair Fall Connection 1. Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to both pimples and hair loss. 2. Stress: Stress can exacerbate both pimples and hair loss. 3. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, biotin, or vitamin B, can contribute to both pimples and hair loss.

I've been having this weird sensation where it feels like ants are biting me all over my body, especially when I start working out or if I'm standing in the sunlight. My skin starts releasing this white, hair-thin substance from the pores, turns reddish, and it's almost unbearable for me to be in the sun or exercise in the winter. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
