After about a month when I first went on interferon, I started
noticing tha tmy hands were full of hair after washing it.  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.

For me i notice hair in the shower and more on my hair brush.i am
thinning because of tx but it is a gradual process.i even told my dr i
wasn't losing it but my wife says its much thinner......john

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.  Who's
kidding who here?

Perfectly normal

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?
