... on remicade for about three years now. It did cause a bald spot about the size of a quarter underneath my hair within the first six months. A friend of mine found it when she was doing my hair one day. That has all grown back in, but now since they have increased my dosage I have noticed a big change. My hair is super thin and just keeps getting worse. What are some things I can try to help my hair stay more healthy and stop thinning? Any good ideas?
I know that remicade can cause hair to thin. Mine has been getting worse and worse!!! I have been?
