Lost Hair from Taking Cyclosporin or Other Immunosuppresant Drug?

Hi there
My daughter is 4 and a half and had a heart transplant last year. She takes modified cyclosporine liquid and thinning/loss of head hair is a pretty common side effect. She used to have SUPER thin hair! Over time, though, it gets better. In fact, now her hair grows like crazy!
Hope you guys find some answers!
BTW my other daughter has eczema that's pretty bad and we use Derma-Soothe oil on her. It's a topical steroid oil that the doc prescribed and it's been a God-send for us! Don't know if you have tried it but hey it's an option. You can only use it for limited time spans but it really has helped with my daughter.

i too am on immunosuppressants---had hair thin way out--not happy about it at all---used to have full,lonng blond hair....now scalp shows through....happy it didn't all fall out....if i were a guy,i'd shave y head----they seem to be able to pull 'cool' off with a shaved head........total empathy for you................people with hair just don't get the devastation.....

Hi BJ,

That's terrible! While I don't have any suggestions on the present hair loss, I do have some thoughts about some possibilites that really might help with the eczema. I have seen people who have 'tried everything' experience major improvements when they switched many of their home products(bath, body, laundry, cleaning) to the ecofriendly manufacturer that I have been shopping with for 7 years. I can tell you a few remarkable stories(including one from a dermatologist who couldn't get rid of her son's eczema and was very concerned about continuing the steroid treatments he was on...she made the switch and he improved..no is longer taking steroids) I certainly can't promise what the outcome would be but as someone who likes to avoid meds if at all possible ...this solution could be a very realy possibility. There's nothing to lose....if I can share more info and be of help, I invite you to get intouch with me. ###-###-####
