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

Telogen Effluvium: Dengue fever can cause Telogen Effluvium, a condition where hair enters the resting phase and falls out after a few months.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Dengue fever can lead to nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can contribute to hair loss.

Hormonal Imbalance: Dengue fever can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to hair loss.

Pimples and Hair Fall Connection

Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to both pimples and hair loss.

Stress: Stress can exacerbate both pimples and hair loss.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, biotin, or vitamin B, can contribute to both pimples and hair loss.
