Will Hair Lost From Cortisone Injections Grow Back?

Dr. Rassman,
I had 3 HT’s, the last approx 2 yrs ago . I have seborrheic dermatitis, & am trying to control it. 4 months ago I had 2 cortisone shots in my right shoulder & started to notice a consistant shedding of transplanted hairs. I have very fine hair, 61 yrs. old & am concerned. Can hair fallout be affected by cortisone injections, will it grow back? Thank you so much!

Only time will tell. I suspect that it will grow back. Men in your age group have ‘strong’ hair able to handle many insults. A couple of shots of steroids should not be a big enough insult to knock out the hair permanently (my opinion). Write to me in 3-5 more months and let me know if the hair returns.
