Man up: Chances are that you are having telogen effluvium and it will self-cure. Get with your barber and maybe he will advise you as to whether this is the cause, or whether you have a fungus, or something else. Get a baseball cap of your choosing, stay physically fit, and if it persists, get with your physician.
