Would cortazone shots cause hair to fall out in large quanities? I had a shot about 2 weeks ago, would this cause it. or maybe my age 55 in mentapause time something to do with it?
On occasion, cortisone shots into the head can precipitate hair loss. In women who are predisposed to genetic hair loss (in those who do not have an autoimmune cause of the hair loss), cortisone may add to the many precipitating factors for hair loss, which occurs more frequently in post menopausal women. Any stress can precipitate the process. Although some doctors use steroids to treat hair loss, I do not understand the rationale for such use, unless there are autoimmune influences suspected as a cause of hair loss.
