    TLDR Many hospitalized children with COVID-19 had skin, mouth, or nail changes, with skin rashes being common.
    This prospective study involved 46 hospitalized pediatric patients with COVID-19, and found that 41.3% of them displayed skin, mucosal, or nail changes. The most common skin finding was periorbital erythema and edema, seen in 23.9% of patients. Oral mucosal findings were present in 22% of patients, and hair and nail changes were observed in a few cases, including one case of telogen effluvium. Additionally, 19.5% of patients developed Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), with 88.8% of these showing mucocutaneous manifestations. The study concluded that pediatric COVID-19 patients are more likely to develop mucocutaneous manifestations than adults, and that COVID-19 should be considered as a cause of viral exanthem rashes in children.

      Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.

      The user has been losing hair for over two years despite taking dutasteride and RU58841, even increasing dutasteride to 2.5mg. They are questioning if their hair loss could be due to telogen effluvium instead.
