Had Chicken Pox. Have Hair Loss. Prescribed Xtraglo Tablet And Hair4u Solution. Side Effects?
Hello Doctor,
I am a 22 year old girl. A year back i suffered from chicken pox and was on bed for nearly 3 months. Since then my hair got tangled badly and in order to get them untangled i went through tremendous hair loss! A dermatologist prescribed to me xtraglo tablets along with Hair 4 U 5% solution. Will this work? and are there any side effects?

Hi
Welcome to HCM
Hair falls after general illness is common.
Called telogen effluvium.
Don’t worry at all.
You will be ok gradually.
Both the medications will work.
They have very minimum side effects even on prolong use.
Get well soon
