The clinical conditions caused by Covid-19 are not fully understood because it is a new pandemic and new pathology. Objective: This study examined the effects of the disease in relation to trichology. Methods: The study was conducted through an online questionnaire, with questions about before and after disease. Results: The two alterations found were alopecia areata and telogen effluvium. Conclusion: The alopecia detected in this study, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata, are related to several other systemic diseases, however SARS - CoV - 2 acts as a trigger in different autoimmune pathways and creates a link between the pathologies described here, generating the need for further investigations.
