My hair is still falling out every day in the shower and when I dry my hair its all over the walls and the floors. My hair is dry and brittle since I had covid December 2021. Covid has affected me from head to toe. And still having problems to this day. Hope we can all get better soon.

I had significant hair loss post-COVID and went to a Dermatologist who specializes in hair loss.
I have been on a drug called Finasteride for 2 years. My hair is healthy again. However, I have to keep taking it indefinitely. I haven't had any side effects. Hope that helps. Another Long Covid friend, the only one I know, did the same thing and has had the same positive result. I take 1/2 of a 5 mg tablet daily.
