A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hair Loss: Dexamethasone does not cause hair loss. You most likely have what is called a telogen effluvium. In a person with telogen effluvium, some body change or shock pushes more hairs into the telogen phase. Typically in this condition, about 30% of the hairs stop growing and go into the resting phase before falling out. So if you have telogen effluvium, you may lose an average of 300 hairs a day not 100
