Greetings. You are probably suffering from telogen effluvium. This is usually self limiting. PRP therapy is a good option and promising results with same are seen. You can shave your head if you want to but that is an extreme Step. A diet rich in proteins, fruits and veggies is suggested. . Discuss with a qualified dermatologist near you in detail. (Caution: do not be lured by unrealistic claims and offers by quacks who claim to be specialists in trichology n cosmetic sciences or even saloons. Make sure u are treated by a qualified dermatologist).
Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru .
