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.
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 […]
You are better off stopping the steroids. Propecia may or may not help, but I can’t tell you what will happen with any great certainty. It at least would have a better chance without the steroid use, which has been shown to promote the balding that occurs from genetic hair loss. By the way, I […]
Steroids do not “kill” your hair follicles, but they can accelerate androgenic alopecia (this is assuming that you have androgenic alopecia). Each person reacts differently to the steroid, so I really can not answer your question. Your doctor may elect to take miniaturization measurements of your hair, do a work up for telogen effluvium, and […]
The steroids may have triggered genetic hair loss and you are now following through with your genetic pattern. Even though you don’t see hair loss in your immediate family, the expression of the gene can skip generations. Finasteride might be good at blocking this effect, but you should get a doctor of your own to […]
I am not your doctor and messing around with the steroids and Propecia is not a place where I wish to go, particularly over the internet. There is no doubt that taking steroids causes hair loss and although Propecia may help a bit, I doubt that it will prevent you from going with your genetic […]
I use steroids for therapeutic reasons and I have no experience with them to build body mass. Check with your family doctor for his/her recommendations.
I do not know why you’d be treated with steroids (topical, I am assuming) to help grow a mustache. It is very peculiar that half of a mustache would be missing. I am having a hard time imagining someone with half a mustache, but high on the list of diagnosis would be alopecia areata. I […]
With respect to your scalp condition, it seems you’re on the right track with your dermatologist. Establish a good communication line with your doctor and discuss your concerns with him/her. I really cannot comment on your state of hair loss. If you are using Rogaine (minoxidil), I am assuming it is because you are thinning […]
I am not a pharmacologist and what I know about these drugs are practical things that I read about. DHT is more powerful that testosterone at some things like the development of male sex characteristics at puberty and the development of other male sex characteristics as boys grow into men. From a sex drive point […]
Anabolic steroids can accelerate hair loss if you have the gene for male pattern hair loss. Even without taking anabolic steroids, you probably would have had hair loss at some point in your life. Anabolic steroids are illegal unless prescribed and managed by a physician and only for special health purposes. Anabolic steroids can not […]
You are asking for detailed medical advice, but I am not your doctor — for legal and ethical reasons, I can only provide general advice. You need to address these issues with the doctor that prescribed you the anabolic steroids and Avodart (dutasteride). You don’t seem to have a focus on the long term consequences […]
It shouldn’t, unless you are using the medication for a long period of time at high doses and have the genes for hair loss.
There are no firm studies on whether anabolic steroids will cause transplanted hair to fall out, so I really do not have a definitive answer to your question. I would suspect that steroids will not cause hair loss in transplanted hair. Aside from hair loss, anabolic steroids are harmful to your liver and other body […]
