My hair is falling out too!! Since January I have had 2 kenalog shots for allergies and 2 shots for poison ivy. My side effects are hair loss, depression, headaches, bruise easily, swollen joints, weight gain, and a dent on my rear. These effects did not start until I had 2 shots, now it is so severe. I was so scared when my hair started falling out but knew that I didn't have Lupus or Diabetes which could cause the same side effects...I have been tested for both and do not have either. Please let us know if there are anymore out there who have hair loss because of the Kenalog Shot.

I was treated for acne with accutane and my joints were so stiff and inflamed the doctor gave me a shot once a month for 6 months of kenalog and now I have had tons of hair loss but the good thing is i can see littlie ones already coming back. But I want to know is this a side effect from the kenalog?

Yes, had the Kenalog shots b/c my edges were thinning. However, had the shots and now both sides of my edges are COMPLETELY BALD in addition, I now have bald spots going up my scalp. Words fail me on what I feel. Also, my scalp feel so INFLAMMED to the point so severe, I went to the ER just to sent back home advising I need to go back to the derm. I also have dents in both sides of my scalp. The PUNK ASS DERM told me I need to space out the shots and gave me something for fungus yet I don't have fungus. Please anyone keep me abreast on any additional findings.
