Is it possible that a change in body odor is a post-COVID symptom? I've been dealing with a really bad body odor since I had COVID, especially from sweating or my armpits. It's been about two months since I recovered. Do you have any suggestions or remedies that might help with this?

I'm a 22-year-old female and I've been dealing with thinning hair for the past 2 to 3 years. My scalp is becoming more visible, and just recently, I noticed my frontal hairline seems to be receding. I also happen to be obese and often use heat styling on my hair. I'm really concerned and curious to know if there's a way I can get my hair back to its former state.
