Patients with Post-COVID-19 syndrome often present with diffuse hair loss. This is usually non-scarring. Full advice around investigation and management of alopecia (all causes) is found at the primary care dermatology society. Once suspected following COVID, hair loss should be examined and investigated appropriately. Baseline bloods include FBC, ferritin and TFTs. According to alopecia guidelines, iron supplementation should be considered where ferritin is less than 40.
Most cases of hair loss or hair thinning in COVID patients is probably linked to Chronic Telogen Effluvium (CTE). This is a condition in which no other cause of hair loss is found. It is often associated with severe trauma or illness. It will usually recover over time. However, it may continue for several years. Patients should be offered a patient information leaflet such as Telogen effluvium (bad.org.uk) and emotional support, John Dolman, HEE GP Fellow at Somerset Training Hub

New Librarian for primary care. NHS Knowledge and Library Services work to help everyone be better informed when making day to day decisions with patients, planning improvements, and furthering their education and training- but to date services for primary care have been very limited. Somerset Training Hub is one of 15 national pilots to have an experienced NHS librarian appointed to work wholly with primary care. Paula Younger has just started in post, read more here about her and how she can help you.
- South West CVD, Respiratory and Diabetes Clinical Networks would like to invite Somerset Clinicians to their upcoming webinar - Long Covid – what it is, and how we identify patients with the condition, more details and how to book can be found here
