Why It Happens And How To Control It

Many people experience sudden and excessive hair fall a few weeks after recovering from COVID. This condition is alarming but usually temporary if treated correctly.

Why Hair Fall Happens After COVID

This condition is called telogen effluvium. In simple words, physical or emotional stress pushes hair into a shedding phase, leading to sudden hair fall after illness.

Common Signs Of Hair Fall

  • Sudden hair shedding while washing or combing
  • Hair thinning from the crown or sides
  • Reduced hair volume
  • Dry or weak hair strands

How To Control Hair Fall

Post COVID hair fall usually improves within 3 to 6 months. However, medical support speeds up recovery. Treatments like PRP, scalp boosters, and nutritional correction help restore hair growth.

When To See A Dermatologist

If hair fall continues beyond three months or becomes severe, professional evaluation is important. At Dr. Reshma Ahuja’s Clinic, personalised hair loss treatments help restore hair health safely.
