Hair falling recently
I have been facing a massive hair fall. Even now a days i dont take bath due to this issues when I run my comb through hair, there are approximately 10-15 single hair which comes up with the comb.
I was tested COVID positive before 2 months. Lungs were infected 30%,then recovered. Now I work 13-14 hours of fully stress work a day which starts from 9 am and end at 10 pm around and the entire time I spend infront of my laptop.
Could you kindly help me out how can I get rid of this massive hair falling?

Hi. Greetings. Hair loss can have a variety of reasons and needs to be analysed in detail with respect to history and examination.
Mostly likely, you are having Post Covid Hair loss in the form of Acute Telogen Effluvium. This usually improves in about 3 months.
Pls see a qualified dermatologist near you in person so as to help you with
1. Detailed history
2. Direct examination and hair pull test
3. Trichoscopy / hair microscopy
4. Blood tests if needed.
This is routinely followed by most hair practitioners/ dermatologists including our centre.
This would definitely help in coming to a conclusion about your hair fall.
Regards. Dr Govind S Mittal. Therapeia Skin Hair and ENT centre, Bengaluru.
