Actress Alyssa Milano has opened up about her battle with COVID-19, saying she is now experiencing hair loss as a result of the coronavirus.

In a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, Milano brushed through her hair to show it falling out, in clumps.

The actress is not the only person to report hair loss as a result of COVID-19.

While it is not a symptom on the CDC's official list, a recent survey found about 26% of people with long-term coronavirus symptoms said they experienced hair loss.

The group asked more than 1,500 patients to report what symptoms they had, including those not on the CDC list like weight gain, clogged ears and hair loss. .

The researchers found that "long haulers' COVID-19 symptoms are far more numerous than what is currently listed on the CDC's website," the study reads. Over 400 respondents said they experienced hair loss. .

Many people in the Survivor Corps Facebook group have opened up about their hair loss following their battles COVID-19, asking others for advice.

In July, one woman posted that ever since she was diagnosed with COVID-19 in March, her hair had been falling out in "massive clumps!" .

Shilpi Khetarpal, a dermatologist at Cleveland Clinic, said there have been an increased number of reports of hair loss from COVID-19 patients.

There's generally a two- to three-month lag between a stressful event and the onset of hair loss, which is "why we're seeing these patients now, several weeks after COVID-19 symptoms resolve," Khetarpal said. .

According to a previous Instagram post, Milano began feeling coronavirus symptoms sometime in March.

Milano said that after first testing negative for coronavirus and antibodies, she continued to have symptoms for four months – "like, vertigo, stomach abnormalities, irregular periods, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, zero short term memory, and general malaise" – so she took another antibody test
