My hair has not grown for two years.I use to have really nice long hair and it destroyed it.Clumps started coming out and than it basically fused together like dreadlocks.I had to cut it.The only thing that has changed is that my hair is pretty much all silver now.I had brunette hair and never even dyed it.Now it looks like a 100 year old woman's hair.It also does not go down.What I have left goes outward like I stuck my finger in electric socket with these weird little curls.I guess kind of like chemo hair growing back.My follicles on my scalp hurt too.Someone was saying that is part of it.My face,eyes,hair and body are destroyed from this virus.It is just awful.I hope they can come up with something to get mine to grow again.It is very upsetting.I feel your pain.

I am so sorry to hear this and you are not alone. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. How interesting you mention your follicles hurting. I don't have this but I was watching a video from one of my favorite dermatologists, Dr. Andrea Suarez, about covid hair loss and she mentions scalp pain and exactly what causes this. This site doesn't allow me to post a link on here but you can look up her YouTube channel and look for the Covid Hair Loss Explained video.

How did the virus affect your skin? I've never had acne in my life but have struggled with acne around my jawline since contracting Covid.
