I am 28 years old, have been on T medrol steroid for 3 months (Nov-Jan), since then I am on azathioprine, azoran, folvite, pentids 800 due to Multiple sclerosis (an autoimmunity disorder), having a lot of hair fall since a month, got my blood checkup done and it showed up iron deficiency, I would like to know if steroid is showing after affects, or it is the iron content or azathioprine, according to internet all of it can cause hair fall. Please advice how can this be treated? Have been to a dermatologist and I am using some minoxidil spray as well as consuming FOLLIHAIR TABLET once daily, no improvement since 15 days, hair fall has gone upto 300 strands a day.
