Some people who got COVID-19 experienced temporary hair loss starting around 10 weeks after infection, with many seeing improvement within about 25 days.
In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
The user experiences immediate hair shedding linked to stress, unlike typical telogeneffluvium, and is seeking answers. A suggestion was made to use spironolactone and topical minoxidil to address potential DHT-related shedding.
A 21-year-old male diagnosed with telogeneffluvium and male pattern baldness started taking finasteride, which initially slowed hair shedding and slightly thickened hair. The doctor recommended iron and vitamin D supplements, and the user is considering minoxidil but wants to stabilize shedding first.
User shared a 4-month progress update on using minoxidil and 1.5 months on finasteride for hair loss. Reactions were mixed, with some expressing disbelief and others feeling inspired to start treatment.
