Hydroxyzine, Chemo, and Female Hair Loss
I have a good quarter size balding spot on the top back of head. I am a 44 year old woman, along with this ,I have been experiencing itching on skin as well as head. I am 5 years out of remission from Lymphoma, in which I had chemo and radiation……is this linked? Doctors purscribed HYDROXYZINE…every 6 hours..25mg…it makes me drowsy, but, if I don’t take regurally, i found after 3days..i stopped, the itch comes back…more and more hairs fall from my head…seems only these from the top spot…help
It is not clear from your question if the bald spot came on after the chemotherapy and radiation. If it did not and the cancer has not returned, then I would doubt that these are connected. If you scratch over and over again, you can break off hair and produce a bald spot. You need a good doctor to put the story together and examine you, then you will know what is happening.
