Predisone Caused Giant Clumps of Hair Loss in Woman
(female)
I had an allergic reaction about a year ago and they put me on prednisone 50mg. I had to take 8 of those for 3 days and then every 3 days I go down 1 pill. It took about 3 weeks to get off of them and then as soon as I started taking them my hair started to thin. Then eventually it was coming out in giant clumps. It took about 2 months for me to lose all of my hair. Is that normal for that amount of meds I was given? To lose that much hair in that little of time?
Steroids (like prednisone) are a cause for hair loss. You need a good doctor to analyze you, your general health, and your overall hormone balance. This can not be done over the internet.
