Hair loss (alopecia areata) after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is generally considered unrelated to the vaccination. Patients should consider other causes such as fungal infections. It's recommended to undergo a secretion test; if a fungal infection is confirmed, antifungal treatment should be initiated, for example, using ketoconazole ointment.
