In November 2004 I took Ibuprofen for a knee injury and by the end of the week my pain was unbearable; the Ibuprofen did not help with the pain at all, but all of my hair fell out. Well, I used Nioxin and have been taking one Biotin and 3 Hair, Body, and Nail pills a day.
My hair on my head is growing back (finally) It’s very short and I can see differing lengths…. But I have also noticed very fine hairs growing on my face and not just where my eyebrows used to be. Is this the normal fuzz that was probably there before that I didn’t notice or are my vitamins trying to make me look like a man.
I’m 37 years old. Please help me.
While many drugs may cause hair loss, I suspect your hair loss may have been coincidental or from the physical stress caused by your knee injury. With respect to the fuzz you notice on your face, it is most likely that was there before and you had not noticed. You can see this in everybody. We’re all fuzzy!
