Gardasil Hair Loss, New Hair, Rita, Eye Lashes, Daughters Hair
Posted over a year ago
I notice my daughter had a little hair loss after the first gardasil shot, but I did not think that was the cause. After the final shot I noticed about a month later she had massive hair loss.
Ritasantos - How is your daughter today, has she started to grow new hair? What have the Dr said?
Rita Santos
Whythehairloss - It's only been 2 months since the last shot. The hair loss seems to have eased up on her head. I can't really tell at this point if new hair has grown. For the last few days she has noticed her eye lashes are shedding. The doctor told me he contacted MERCK and was advised that there has only been complaints about hair loss with boys that took that same Gardasil dosage as the girls ( I find that hard to believe because I know I filed a complaint about my daughters hair loss). I pray the worst is over.
Melissa814 - I had my first shot of Gardasil in January of 2007. In February of 2007 I had my first small bald spot. It got worse; that spot spread and I got others. I am just now experiencing hair groth in the initial affected area, I don't want to jinx myself, but I feel like I am finally gaining momentum, but it was a long journey. After about 9 months w/my 1st dermatologist, I switched to a new one and she has been my angel. She is in North Hollywood and she has been aggresively treating (injections every 4 weeks) the problem since I first went to her. I hope your daughter is able to see success, please let her know that she won't see progress overnight, but I finally believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel. (I am a woman & I too filed a complaint!)
Donna12 - Please let me know how you're doing now and what your dermatologists treatment was. My daughters experiencing the same thing.
Donna12 - Can you tell me. Did you lose all your hair? Did it come out in patches or all over? Did you do any aluminum testing and what was the result? Did you do extensive hormone testing or the basic blood tests?

Melissa814 - I didn't lose all of my hair at once, it always came out in small & big patches, the largest ended up being probably as large or larger than the diameter of a grapefruit. I haven't had blood work done in a few years. When I did they did all the normal tests, I then asked to go to see the endocrinologist to get more extensive tests. Once my thyroid showed up as being off, but the next month it was fine so they ruled it out.
