Transplanted hair should not be affected by DHT from genetic male pattern balding, nor should it be affected by anabolic steroids.

Corticosteroids in general can cause many systemic problems (not only hair loss), but hair loss from steroid use is not uncommon in those with the genetic hair loss gene. In general, hair loss in men is mainly from genetic androgenic alopecia without steroids. You may want to note if your hair loss is diffuse or […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — FDA Says 29 People Sickened By Vitamin Supplements From L.I. The article has a local slant to it since it appeared in the CBS New York website, but the product was sold over the web to people all over the US and marketed as a vitamin while […]
Like you, I am always concerned about overdosing steroids. Patients need to follow up closely with their doctors for any adverse effects. A treatment that may work in others may not work for you. Doctors are there to help their patients, but the healing process is dynamic and things may change. We all have the […]
So you diagnosed yourself with alopecia areata and then decided to ask me if anabolic steroids would help regrow your facial hair? First of all, you should get a physician’s diagnosis to see if perhaps it isn’t alopecia areata. Maybe you have an allergy or stress (both of which can also cause spots like that). […]
I do not think a medication for your foot or a fungus can impact the hair on your scalp. Topical steroid on your foot should not affect male pattern hair loss. If there is long term / high dose skin applications with significant steroid absorption into your body, there might be a connection. Be sure […]
I have a hard time believing that you can’t get straight answers from doctors, particularly the doctor that prescribed you the corticosteroid. There is a well known connection between exogenous steroids and hair loss where the drug triggers genetic predispositions to balding. I can not tell you how long this might go on, as this […]
You should ask your doctor what condition he is treating. Was it for an allergy? A fungus? An infection? As I have not examined you, I can not give you an opinion on your problem.
To answer this, I would have to know why you are using topical steroids and for what period of time you expect to use them. For example, when topical steroids are used for psoriasis and applied in short bursts over a three time application, the treatment works well and will not cause acceleration of your […]
As you are now off the steroids and have been for some time, you will be treated as any other balding patient. Of course, you took some steps backward with hair loss that may never return, but that does not mean it is hopeless. A visit to a doctor’s office who cares about you and […]
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.
There is no connection between a single shot of steroid injection in the epidural space to induce hair loss in men or women.
I would agree with your assumption if you are looking for some assurance, but hypothetically, if you knew the single steroid shot caused even minor hair loss, would you have refused treatment for your strep throat?
You need a real diagnosis, and I really can’t help you without that. There is no definitive medical solution for genetic hair loss in women in most instances. You are wasting money by seeing all these specialists and you may end up worse off after these invasive procedures that may not work. Steroids have never […]
Really, you didn’t supply any information to work with here. If you are a male, injecting steroids in male pattern balding could be very damaging. If you are a female, it may not be as damaging as with a male, but I am not familiar with the benefits unless your doctor thinks that you have […]
