TLDR A woman's hair loss improved with treatment after a COVID-19 infection.
The case report described a 33-year-old female who experienced diffused alopecia following a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite being in good health and having no history of autoimmune disorders or stress, she developed asymptomatic hair loss on the temporal region of her scalp, confirmed by a positive pull test. The patient was treated with topical lotions and biotin supplements, which resulted in a significant reduction in hair fall within 1 month. The report highlighted that alopecia could be a rare complication of COVID-19, and early treatment might mitigate its effects.
