Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / July 2006Hair loss
Hi everyone, My hair has been thinning pretty bad as of late. (Past few months) I'm not really sure where the thinning is coming from. When tx started it triggered a serious case of psoriasis This includes my scalp. I'm not 100% sure P causes hair thinning or not. Did - or does - anyone else have thinning hair due to tx? Did it come back in? > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Did - or does - anyone else have thinning hair due to tx? Did it come back > in? I got hold of some electric clippers from the start. Buzzzzzz... yep, it's thinned out now! -BG > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Did - or does - anyone else have thinning hair due to tx? Did it come back > in? There are a lot of us that had hair thinning while on tx. For many it came back as soon as tx stopped. My hair is still migrating south, but that is probably just heredity at work. :) Dwight So far I haven't lost any hair(after over 13 months of treatment).But it has become very straight all over my body.Even my pubes.It looks very bizzare.

It took a year after treatment for it to get the curlyness back. It's about how it was when I started treatment 3 years ago today.

I am now at 15 weeks and probbaly lost about half my hair but since it was very thick to begin with, it still looks somewhat decent. If I were a guy I'd just shave it off. Ally . > Did - or does - anyone else have thinning hair due to tx? Did it come back > in? Yes its because of tx. Mine came out rather bad but Have been off tx for almost a month and already have regrowth. Its just another joy of tx, hun. In tx for 12 weeks now with some thinning thank god I have very thick hair and barely noticeable. A friend of mine lost most of his hair in tx in clumps but returned completely and curly to top it off. Perfectly normal > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Did - or does - anyone else have thinning hair due to tx? Did it come back > in? Horseshit!! Hair doesn't fall out in clumps from treatment with hepc tx drugs. It may thin from drying out and may grow straight, but it doesn't fall out in clumps like it does in cancer chemotherapy.

First, it is true that my hair has never fallen out in clumps, neither before nor during treatment. Of course, I can't say for sure what all might happen as treatment progresses, but can predict with certainty that my hair won't be falling out in clumps because I cut it and the buzz cut that remains is now thinning like a scary-movie vampire in the full light of the sun. So enough about hair -- it's my a.s that's the problem. Last night as I sat in the hot classroom and watched the walls melt during a lecture on symbolic logic, my a.s fell off in big clumps. I kid you not. I felt so helpless. There was nothing I could do. I even tried using both hands to hold my a.s on, but it was no use. -BG >> Horseshit!!

And my towel had lots of hair after drying my head -- to the point that i'd shake it out before drying the rest of me. And I noticed having to clear the shower drain after a shower because of the hair matted on it. And I have short (about 2" long) hair. This is the first time I've ever had to do this. I ended up with 2 very thin spots on the top sides of my head (like where men's hair recedes) that could easily be covered up by styling. BUT, no one else knew that my hair was thinning so badly. It totally wasn't visible. And the spots have totally regrown back in. The funny thing is when I went on treatment a couple years later (first time didn't work, second time was the same drug (Intron/A) in combo with riba), I was prepared for this to happen again. Nope. No noticeable hair thinning/loss at all. Wierd.

Even my wife has commented on it. The bad part is that I quit tx almost two years ago. Maybe tx is just now kicking in. :) I wouldn't mind being bald and virus free, or for that matter, hairy and virus free. Oh well, there will be another attempt at tx eventually.
