Post-Covid hair fall haunts Indians: Doctors decode the long-term shedding crisis

Many Indians report persistent hair loss months after recovering from Covid-19, mainly due to telogen effluvium triggered by stress, inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies. Doctors say post-Covid hair loss is usually temporary and reversible, with new growth often seen within six to nine months. Early intervention, proper nutrition, stress management, and dermatologist-supervised treatments can help accelerate hair regrowth and recovery.
