There is a sharp rise in the number of temporary reversible hair loss cases which are also known as telogen effluvium in post-Covid patients due to physical and emotional stress. Hair loss post-Covid usually begins two or three months after the patient has recovered from Covid-19. Noticeable hair loss usually starts after an average of about 3 months post-recovery. The hair goes into the resting phase sooner than nature intends and this results in clumps of hair in your hairbrush. Hair fall usually occurs from all across the scalp. However, Covid-19 is not the only reason that can cause this type of hair fall. Other factors such as changes in diets, weight loss, sudden hormone changes, and iron deficiency can further accelerate this process. Telogen effluvium is a temporary condition, which improves in about three to six months post-onset of hair loss. Consult a Dermatologist for the same to prevent further progression of the hair loss
