Herein, we report a remarkable case of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diffuse alopecia that gradually improved and recovered, and the hair volume returned approximately to the pre-infection level, seven months after the patient's first diagnosis of COVID-19. Approximately 20% of patients with COVID-19 develop alopecia a few months after the acute infection phase. Telogen effluvium is the major type of COVID-19 sequela secondary to physical or psychological distress. It is reversible and is expected to improve without any treatment, and it can be addressed by explaining to the patients their conditions, sharing medical information, and eliminating psychophysical stress by managing systemic complications.
