How do you stop hair loss from lupus?
I was diagnosed with lupus a few months back, and lately, my hair loss has become really severe. It's making me very self-conscious. Are there any effective ways to stop this hair fall caused by lupus?

Listen, hair loss from lupus happens because of internal inflammation, not because of your shampoo. Stop trying random hair oils or onion juices on your head. Go directly to your rheumatologist and let them adjust your main medications first.

Hair thinning in lupus can be due to active flare-ups or even some strong medications. Try using a very mild, sulfate-free baby shampoo and avoid any heat styling or chemical treatments. Keep your doctor informed so they can evaluate your lupus activity.

Whenever I lose a few extra hair strands, I start panicking and looking up autoimmune issues. If you are dealing with lupus, please don't stress too much as stress itself makes hair fall worse. Ask your doctor if some specific vitamins can help.
