Hair fall post Covid
Hi,
I had hair fall post covid. So I consulted a Dermatologist. He gave me few test and it came out I have little PCOD features.
My ESR came 63 _ is it serious? Do I need to worry?
To be noted: I had covid on May.
I did my 1st dose vaccination on 11th August, fever on 12th and did my ESR on 13th (while on my period as I was told to).
Please advice.
