I Hello. I have hair loss which seems to continue on most days.l I had the Aclasta infusion last September (this is the third time) Usually I have it every 3 years but last time I had it closer - about 15 months since the time beforehand.
So hair loss and also gritty red eyes at times and most also I experienced what looks like a large basal cell carcinoma quite close to my ear and on my jawline.
This appeared around 2 weeks within having the infusion. I also had other symptoms such as swelling of my right cheek. I saw a GP but as Im in no pain she told me I was probably OK. I have had a dentist xray my teeth and they are fine.
But the 'basal cell' is still there.
So just wondering will thee symptoms abate with time please?
Thank you

Dear Madam,
Thanks for reverting back.
The hairfall will reduce with time , but the other two issues in my opinion are unrelated to your present complaints . So for those I thing you should see your treating physician , if he wants to investigate further .
Aclasta will not lead to these issues. Any other query please let me know. The attachment that you have sent could not be downloaded so you can send it to the site where they can email me the same .
