Is it true that long COVID causes hair loss, typically through a form of temporary shedding called telogen effluvium?
Unclear. Multiple sources report hair loss as a common symptom of long COVID, and several clinical reports attribute post-COVID hair loss to telogen effluvium, but the evidence is largely single-center, observational, or expert commentary rather than a definitive causal demonstration.
