Does skyrizi cause hair loss?

I'm considering starting Skyrizi for my psoriasis, but I've noticed my hair thinning a bit lately. I'm worried about more loss. Is hair loss a known side effect of Skyrizi?

I have been using it for six months now and there is no hair loss at all. Don't worry, it is not a common side effect.

I was super scared of hair loss when I started my Skyrizi doses, but honestly, I didn't face any extra shedding. My psoriasis actually got so much better. Sometimes the stress of the disease itself causes hair fall rather than the medicine.

I haven't seen hair loss listed as a main side effect of Skyrizi. To keep your hair healthy during any treatment, make sure you are getting enough protein through chana, paneer, and sprouts. A balanced diet really protects your hair from thinning.

Beta, sometimes these strong treatments heat up the body internally, which can affect the hair roots. Try oiling your scalp gently with pure coconut oil twice a week and eat soaked almonds daily. Of course, keep taking your doctor's advice on the main medicine.

Actually, I also had this doubt yaar when my dermatologist suggested Skyrizi. But I did my research and even asked the doc, hair loss isn't a thing with this drug. Just go ahead with what your doctor advises and don't take stress.

My grandmother told me to apply homemade curry leaves oil for any hair thinning issues, which I do, but I strictly follow my dermatologist's advice for my main treatment. They told me Skyrizi doesn't typically cause hair fall. Always trust what your specialist says for your skin.

Hey! I totally understand how stressful the thought of hair fall is, especially when you are already dealing with skin issues. Thankfully, Skyrizi doesn't usually cause hair loss. Just eat well, try to sleep on time, and keep your dermatologist updated on any changes you feel.
