Has anyone tried taking Methotrexate for hair loss conditions?
These types drugs have been casually mentioned a few times in the last few years but cos of covid and long delays between apps I have yet to start or confirm I want to try it.
Not many options left as my condition is quite active and other medication has been rubbish.
Plus the potential side affects which may mean it doesn't work for me anyhow.

Methotrexate for hair loss ??

One of the side effects of methotrexate is hair loss so not sure how that would work

I took it weekly many years ago while getting psoriasis under control. Hair loss was a side effect!

Ah ok. Well its suppose to reduce inflammation. Dermatologists don't have a clue.
