[quote=Anonymous]Definitely see a derm about it, but telogen effluvium is a fairly common thing. It happens when something stresses your system and interrupts your hair's growth cycle---the hair that stopped growing sheds all at once a couple of months later. The stressful event can be anything from a virus to emotional trauma, and your hair eventually grows back. I've had it happen to me twice, both times we think was from a viral illness (one of them being Covid). It also happened to my DD after she had Covid. I lost about 25% of my hair over the course of four months, and then all of the sudden it stopped shedding. If nothing else, the derm will be able to tell you if the hair loss appears to be autoimmune in nature (which telogen effluvium is not).[/quote]
