While On Lisinopril And Ranitidine And Having Hair Loss, It It Safe To Visit A Beautician?
I loss a lot of my hair during a 4 1/2 month hospital stay. Now that I'm home, I'm still taking the prescribed Lisinopril and Ranitidine. I really want to go to the beautician, but she refuses as long as I'm taking these two medicines. Is she correct in her concern?

no problem to go to beautician.its most likely telogen/ anagen effluvium..just apply steroid ointment in night on the scalp for 15 days along with multivitamin tablets.if hairs continue to fall add 5% minoxidil also for atleast. 1-2 months
