Anyone else having hair loss and a sore scalp that feels bruised?

I have many of the typical LC symptoms-- PEM, fatigue, brain fog, body pain, memory loss etc. and have been dealing with this for 15 months. One of the most bothersome lately is a sore scalp and hair loss. Anyone else? I assume it is another result of inflamation. Seems like it has gotten worse lately and my thinning hair is worrisome.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

I don’t have most of those symptoms. And, since I started taking Hydroxychloroquine, I no longer have joint pain or sore muscles. I used to feel bruised under the skin on my legs and arms, not just scalp. My endocrinologist says it’s likely the anti inflammatory properties of that med. I’m seeing my dermatologist tomorrow and rheumatologist on Friday, so…..not sure what to expect.
