I had botox injections in my scalp for migraines. About two-three weeks later my scalp was itchy. so itchy that i had people check my hair for lice. I would go in the shower and just scrub my head because it felt good to scratch it. Then about three weeks later i noticed some hair falling out. It has gotten gradually worse. I am down to about 1/3 of my hair. Everyone says it can t be from the botox, but nothing else had changed. same shampoos, no new meds, no stress in my life. Could it be from the botox and what can i do to stop it?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Botox does not cause hair fall. You might be suffering from Seborrheic Dermatitis. Please do regular shampooing with Ketoconazole shampoo. You will get improvement.
