Asked By:Steven_gq

Hello, hair loss Doctors. Can medications trigger alopecia areata if an individual has the genetic predisposition to it? If so what kind of medications? Can antihistamines cause it since they can affect the immune system? Or oral retinoids? Is it rare for medications to cause alopecia areata? Thank you
