Worried about hair loss
Hello, I (21M) have noticed my hair is falling out and my hairline is slowly receding. I have no history of family baldness or hair loss. Over the course of the last year and a half I was hospitalized three times in September, November, and April of last year. I was on prednisone and remicade, I’m currently on mecaptopurine and stelara. Is it possible my hair is falling out as a delayed reaction to a flare? Should I be worried? Will it stop? It stopped for a little over summer but then continued again. Should I take minoxidil or finasteride does that work?
Update: There is hope. Within 24 hours I took a bunch of things (to name them a general multivitamin with biotin, calcium magnesium zinc vitamin, iron vitamin, finasteride, and minoxidil) it’s stopped for the first time in months within 24 hours. I can’t say for sure which one made the difference but I’m not complaining.
