Yes, hair loss is a reported side effect for some people on biologics, though it's not very common. I track all my symptoms on a health app and noticed some shedding during flare-ups too. Definitely discuss this with your specialist to rule out other factors.

Losing hair while already dealing with a painful chronic illness is emotionally very tough, I completely understand how you feel. It feels like your body is failing you on multiple fronts. Please speak to your doctor, they can reassure you and find a solution.

Don't get too worried and buy expensive shampoos. If the hair fall started right after your infusions, just mention it to your doctor during your next visit. They might suggest simple vitamin supplements that work nicely.

For mild hair fall, a gentle scalp massage with warm coconut oil can help soothe things ghar pe. But since you are on a strong medication like Remicade, please do not try self-remedies if the hair loss is severe. Ask your doctor first.
