Scared to move my fingers between my hair when I do a bunch of hair come out! My OPD is full of such panic struck patients some even carrying bunch of hair👇. #postcovid #hairfall 1/4
Immense shedding of hair is expected 2 to 3 months after #COVID19 recovery. This is acute #TelogenEffluvium and is self limiting.
Hair on your head are in different phase of growth. This prevents excessive shedding at any one time. 2/4
85% - 90% of hair is in active growing - anagen phase, while the other 10% - 15% is transitioning into or is in the telogen phase.
Telogen effluvium is a diffuse, non-scarring shedding of hairs, resulting from the early entry of the hair into the telogen phase 3/4
Release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and direct viral damage on the hairfollicle are hypothesized as causes of post covid TE.
Avoid panic and if hair loss continues take a #dermatologist opinion. 4/4
