Symptom narrative

Hair loss starting about one month after vaccination. Started with steroid cream which did not improve hair loss. Itching/rash on hands and arms began in December 2024. used same steroid cream to treat which seems to have cleared hands and arms but not hair loss, hair loss getting progressively worse. December referred to dermatologist. Dermatologist did intramuscular steroid shots and prescribed a steroidal foam to use on scalp. That seemed to slow hair loss. Still losing hair but not at the fast pace.
