Hair loss- PMR- Prednisolone

[Claremont2023]

A while back my hair was coming out quite a lot, I was wearing it long but had it cut which seemed to help quite a bit, but now it has started to get worse again. Is this due to steroids or PMR? Does anyone have the same experience? I find it quite distressing to have so much coming out every time I brush or wash my hair.

Your thoughts please.

I lost a ton of hair on prednisone and then got acne back. I'm off of it now though and my immunosuppressive meds make me lose even more. I also wear it long but think I need it cut. I use Viviscal hair products that help boost volume a bit and helps it grow back. Nioxin would be my second choice. I know it's brutal and it wears on me each time I walk past a mirror.

Thanks for your reply. I’m using Champo shampoo/conditioner/serum which seemed to help for a while. Hopefully it will help again. I dread brushing it or even touching it.

You and me both! When a clump comes out, it is so frustrating. I had started the pandemic with the idea of growing my hair for locks for love. Then I got sick and grew my hair for myself maybe.

Hi Claremont,

Another one with hair loss! I'm 75, and I can see my hairline creeping back each day!

I did have a supplement for hair skin and nails, but I'll be blessed if I can find them now!

I also need a trip to the hairdresser, as I don't want my son to let loose with the scissors again!

Cheers, Midori

Hi I’m still trying my Champo serum. There is regrowth strangely though it’s coming through black! I shall look like a Badger!
