Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
"I was diagnosed with SLE lupus in 2011,  my lupus is mild and has remained mild.  My only ailments are inflammation of my joints, mainly my right hand fingers and my left foot baby toe.  I have been taking the Hydroxychloroquine 200mg Tab twice a day.  I have not found any change to my pain from taking this drug.  I was given pain meds for the inflammation that helps after two weeks of taking them.  I noticed my hair breaking off the past 3 yrs after taking the drug, prior to taking it my hair was growing very well and doing good.  I went to a dermatologist who said my scalp was healthy and gave me shampoo for the itchy scalp and desoximetasone ointment usp 0.05%.  Could this low dose of Hydroxychloroquine cause my hair loss?"
