experiencing post covid telogen effluvium, very diffuse shedding. Biopsy showed no inflamation , no scarring diffuse hair loss only. Due to pain associated with the shedding cycle my dermatologist gave me 5 mg of kenalog injections into the area that were most sore. Could these injections worse my telogen effluvium ?
I have androgenic alopecia. I had been treating my aga with minoxidil and had some regrowth. I could not tolerate side effects of spiro a recommended dose to help stop shedding and was given kenalog injections by a dermatologist to help reduce shed. Since getting the Injections I've lost hair around the injection sites and my shedding worsened to the point I lost density I had regained with topical minoxidil alone. Now my dermatologist recommends trying oral minoxidil. Can my hair recover?
I'm a male and I had some chin filler to increase my chin projection. The filler used was sculptra and the results were great but a little lump formed due to excess collagen. The doctor injected the spot with a small dose of Kenalog which worked great. A couple of weeks later however, a small dent formed in that area and a small patch of beard hair fell out. It's been 2.5 months and still hasn't grown back. Is hair loss normal from Kenalog injections and will it grow back?
Hello hairloss Experts. Once hair grows back from a small patch of alopecia areata via treatment of Kenalog injection. Does the person still need to get injections regularly for maintenance? Or will the hair fall out again if kenalog injection is stopped?
Hair started gradually thinning after a stressful event. Had kenalog injections x2. After second round, I noticed small circles of hair loss around the injection sights and also some atrophy. Will this hair grow back? Are the hair follicles damaged permanently?
I had 2 rounds of kenalog injections for hair thinning out after a stressful event. At the injection sights, I now have some atrophy and patches of hair missing. I noticed these patches about a month or so after 2nd round. Are the follicles damaged? Will my hair grow back?
I had Kenalog 40 (1cc) injected into my scalp (along the hairline) for traction alopecia. I had 2 treatments 6 weeks apart. 3 weeks after the 2nd treatment I noticed hair loss, skin atrophy and prominent blood vessels. 2 weeks later I had normal saline (3ml) injected to correct the skin atrophy. Will my hair ever grow back?
Hello, In March this year, I experienced hair shedding which has got progressively worse as my kenalog injections continued. Furthermore, my menstrual cycle is now irregular. I am pretty sure that these two issues are related to the kenalog and would like to know how long it takes for the effects to finally leave my system and for my body and hair get back to normal! Thank you.
