Will I Lose Hair with Somatropin (HGH)?
Hi Dr. Rassman,
I have followed the questions and your answers in regards to Somatropin or testosterone supplementation. I am 40 and have virtually stopped all hair loss since my late 20’s due to the medicines on the market. I have a doctor in NY who treats me for a bad lower back condition, and he recommends I use an hgh cream and a testosterone cream, we did a blood test and my T was quite low. The hgh would assist me in recovery. I discussed with him my concerns and my history, and he doesn’t feel I should have a problem with my hair. However, this is not his area of expertise. My question is, can I attempt to use 1 or both of these products and monitor my hair loss, and if its starts thinning simply stop using the creams. thank you
HGH can and often does accelerate hair loss in genetically prone individuals. There is risk here and you should take charge of your risks before you dive in. If your doctor prescribes a cream, I’m not going to tell you to cease using it, particularly if it is helping you recover. I can not advise you what to do in this situation.
