Steroids

Hi I'm currently balding but I wanted to try a 3 month steroids cycle then go off it. How badly will it affect my balding? I am currently early into my balding stage.

Steroids can actually make hair loss worse, especially if you're already prone to balding. They can increase the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to male pattern baldness, which could accelerate hair loss. Even a short-term steroid cycle could have an impact, and it might not be reversible once the hair loss begins.

Before starting any treatment, it's important to talk to a dermatologist who can guide you through safer options for managing hair loss.
