2 months back I had a PRP session after 2 days I started losing a lot of hair. Like every time i ran my hands through my hair 4-5 hairs always come out. After a month I had another session but hair loss continued, also after each session I had this slight pain and a little swelling beneath my ear which went away after 2 days. I am on finax 1mg and minopep 5 % hair serum once a day since past 1 month. I have attached my pictures since past 5 years. Please suggest.
