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 […]

Chronic use of steroids can cause hair loss and if the steroids are in high enough quantity and taken long enough, it can, of course, impact the adrenal glands. This is why potent corticosteroids like clobetasol should not be used for extended periods of time (no longer than 2 weeks is recommended in most cases). […]
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 […]
I’ve been on Propecia for well over 2 years and I still have the mental capacity to run multiple businesses, develop new tools and techniques, perform surgery, and even write a daily hair loss blog. Not only have I not seen any negative side effects from the medication, but the great majority of my patients […]
I would not think that this would happen. The systemic dose of a single shot of steroid in the epidural space should not be high enough to impact your hair.
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 […]
If you are worried about hormones in your milk, you can start with organic food stores and inquire about where they get their milk. I believe you are the same reader that sent me the earlier posted email about how steroids in milk (when used) get broken down by the acid in the stomach so […]
No, no, no steroids! They are generally bad for your hair. Steroid-based ointments, creams, lotions, or potions will not regrow the hair you lost. Hair loss from years of using tight weaves is usually permanent. The constant pulling from the weave in your hair likely caused traction alopecia. You should see a hair transplant surgeon […]
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 […]
You need to have a doctor manage this process for you. Your low sex drive can be a result of your anabolic steroid use or just a naturally low sex drive (independent of steroids). Many men have low sex drives that go undiagnosed or they are not readily willing to face the problem and often […]
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 […]
