Hello,
It could be due to conditions like effluvium.
Generally, it will settle by itself. As of now, you can take a zinc-containing multivitamin for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
