Switch tacrolimus: Alopecia is a recognized side effect of tacrolimus (fk 506). If it is truly a new problem (started after tne transplant), there are 2 possible strategies. Sometimes using a zinc supplement helps. But the simplest + most effective approach is to ask your transplant team to switch the tacrolimus to cyclosporine, another very effective immunosuppressant. The team will usually agree. Good luck.

Scalp and hair are very dry. Don't usually itch unless I apply product to my scalp. Scalp doesn't tolerate anything on it except Dove White Bar Soap. With Sjogren's, will having dandruff /dry scalp and hair cause me to be bald? I want my hair long.
