Hair Loss Associated with COVID-19: Problems and Solutions

The document reviews the association between COVID-19 and hair loss, particularly focusing on telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia. It highlights that COVID-19 can trigger telogen effluvium, a temporary hair loss condition, due to the stress and inflammation caused by the infection. Additionally, studies have observed a higher prevalence of androgenetic alopecia among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, suggesting a potential link between androgens and COVID-19 severity. The review underscores the need for further research to understand the mechanisms behind these associations and to develop effective treatments for COVID-19-related hair loss.
