Hi, does anyone suffer with eczema and has it got worse whilst taking hydroxychloroquine?
I’m concerned mine is coming back on my scalp (this has happened before when on strong meds) it has caused my hair to fall out in the past so a trip to the dr may be called for, but I don’t want to waste their time. X

Hi I’m quite new to it this is my 4th month. It is the only new drug I’m on and not changed shampoo or anything either. It is getting quite noticeable now. 😞 x
Are you sure it is actually eczema? I just ask that as I've had some problems with patches of psoriasis on my scalp since being on hydroxychloroquine and have since discovered that if you are prone to these kinds of issues, the hydroxy will aggravate it. It's not been a problem for me before going onto this drug.
I’m going to get it checked by the dr but I’m assuming it’s eczema as I had it when young then it got really bad when I was 21 and was taking string meds for asthma. I could be wrong but it looks and feels like my previous times. X
