Doc gave me a few injections today at hairline as I shed hair on Oral Minoxidil which I stopped because of sides. Doc said steroid should stimulate some regrowth but I think it’s used more often for other types of hair loss. Should be interesting to see! Unless you have an autoimmune cause of hair […]

Can i get a hair transplant and take steroids at the same time while taking medication to prevent further hair loss? This is a subject you must discuss with your hair transplant doctor. Bulking up with steroids just causes more hair loss. Why do a hair transplant and lose hair at the same time?
Is the long term use of corticoisteroids possible? It has helped with my itching and light burning on my scalp and I would like to continue using it as it reduces shedding. I am also exploring the idea of corticoisteroid injections as my dermatologist had offered it. I have been on fin for 1 month […]
There are reports that people who take Creatine and have the genes for balding, can bring on or accelerate the hair loss process. I wrote about it a number of times, but take a look at this previous post: https://baldingblog.com/creatine-increases-dht/
Male 40, Norwood 2, previously thick hair before TE, diagnosed with TE after a trenbolone steriod cycle + fasting + excessive lifting. TE has been going on for 3 months. Derm did not really examine my hair. 1 thing I’ve noticed since onset is that most of the hairs shed are 3 cm or less […]
These dents are the result of constant steroid injections which causes atrophy of the skin of the scalp. This can be treated by injecting fat cells into the dents to rebuild the scalp infrastructure. Hair transplants, if you need them, fix this problem nicely.
I’ve been reading this website for a while now, trying to gauge how long this would take. I had one Kenalog injection on 12/21/16. In late April, I noticed my hair was falling out everywhere. I had many side effects including 90+ day menstrual cycle, GI problems, skin thinning, male hair growth, swelling all over […]
The good news is that transplanted grafts, especially if they are plump with a special type of fat, will help rebuild infrastructure. I have done hair transplants on many patients who have alopecia, and they have seen a remarkable rebuild of the fatty infrastructure that comes along with the transplanted hair grafts.
Hey guys, so I’m 24 and NW 2. I just started Proscar about 2 weeks ago. No sides as of yet! (I know this is a popular question) I want to ask about using steroids with Proscar. I’ve stayed away from steroids since I know I’m vulnerable to balding. Now that I’m taking Proscar, will I […]
I am losing over 150 hairs every day so I want to know how many hairs each day should I be losing? I also take protein powder that is anabolic. Can this accelerate my balding? Also I masturbate 2-3 times a day, is this safe for my hair? The total hair count on your head and the […]
Hair loss is not a common side effect of taking NSAIDS such as Motrin, Advil, etc. It is so rare, I have not personally met anyone in my 20+ years who came to see me for this complaint.
Hair loss from Male Pattern Balding (MPB) and hair loss from corticosteroid use are two separate things that may or may not be related. In general, for men who have the genes for Androgentic Alopecia (AGA) otherwise known as Male Pattern Balding (MPB) starts in the puberty teenage years and can rapidly progress to their […]
I would doubt it as the US Department of Agriculture tests meat products for things like steroids and antibiotics. If you are concerned, switch to grain fed beef that is Organic.
I recall a woman that consulted me for a scar on her knee. I told her that I’m a doctor who treats men and women dealing with hair loss, but I think she just came to my office because the consult was free. She didn’t like my honesty, so she posted a bad review online. […]
I would follow the advice of your doctor. I am not your doctor. In general, steroids can cause hair loss, though they don’t always cause hair loss. Your doctor will explain this to you and give you a better balance of your personal risks as well as benefits. The internet is a horrible place to […]
