Could Steroids Trigger Extreme Hair Loss?
Is it possible that supplementation of androgens (steroids) can trigger and miniaturize all your DHT sensitive follicles at once?
I am currently in my 30s. Lets say I were to be destined a Norwood 7 at 80 years of age, but after steroids, all of my follicles “switched” on at the same time (did not follow the Norwood progression).
Is it safe to say within a year or two it would be possible to jump right to a Norwood 7? Have you seen patients with this kind of radical hair loss?
Thanks
Anabolic steroids can accelerate androgenic alopecia (AGA). Most people who are Norwood 7 will start to lose their hair in while in their 20s and 30s (not in their 80s).
I have seen rapid hair loss from anabolic steroid use, but I have also seen rapid hair loss without anabolic steroid use.
