I am interested in your opinions in regard to Griseofulvin. I know it is used to treat fungal infections of the skin/hair/scalp, but have you heard of or encountered any cases where this drug actually causes hair loss?
I have read several reports of drugs like Lamisil and Diflucan causing hair loss, so would Griseofulvin be any different? Also, is this really the best option to treat a “black-dot” ringworm case of tinea capitis?
Thank you.
I haven’t encountered any cases where griseofulvin caused hair loss, but it is a treatment for tinea capitis (also known as ringworm)… and that does cause hair loss if not treated.
Please see your doctor to treat your medical issues.
Hi BaldingBlog, I am 26 and balding. Balding does not run in my family, so I am wondering if diet has anything to do with my pre-mature balding, or if it is strictly genetics. I have tried every over the counter and prescription drug possible, but nothing seems to work. I also do a number of recreational drugs pretty regularly (won’t list) and am wondering if they might have an effect on my hair loss. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
