New hair growth may be falling out?

I had emergency abdominal surgery in July and was in the ICU for 3 weeks. I started noticing my hair falling out in late September. I lost about 70-80% of my hair and went into a deep depression. Went to a dermatologist and he prescribed clobetasol scalp solution 2x per day because he said that was one of his only options since I was on blood thinners. I also started taking prenatal vitamins, biotin, and iron supplements. My hair started growing back and the shedding has decreased over time, but this week I’ve noticed a slight increase in shedding again. I’m just nervous I am going to lose the new hair that’s growing in and go through this all over again. It’s making my anxiety and depression skyrocket again. Did anyone lose their new hair that grew in while being diagnosed with TE? I don’t know if I can take it again…
