Does anyone have problems with hair loss with post-COVID?

Posted by the2oldies @the2oldies, Jul 4, 2023

Every morning, I have a comb full of hair strands, both short and long. Any advice on slowing hair loss/thinning? Thanks, Mary

I wish I knew. I’ve lost about 70% of my hair over the past 11 months. I’ve used some special shampoos and conditioners and some hair supplements. None of them have helped so I won’t recommend them to you. If I find something that DOES work, I’ll get back with you.

Physician. I have seen hair loss occur months after an acute viral infection, which usually has a fever, fortunately, the hair does eventually grow back, there’s a lot of literature on this

Had Covid in 2021. Still losing comb full of hair strands daily.

Encouragement to all: In a lot of folks, COVID causes hair loss. It usually starts about 2 months after COVID and can last up to 6 months. It does grow back usually, but, it takes a while. Blessings & Prayers to all of you.
