hi there.
1. your concern is acute telogen effluvium.
2. it may be mere coincidence for visible hair loss after the biopsy.
3.you will get back the hair don't worry.
4. you can try follihair new supplements daily one after breakfast and sebamed antihair loss shampoo weekly twice for hair wash.
wash the hair only with soft drinking water.
this may help you.
