Hi All,
This afternoon I had my first haircut since my colectomy. Had been 11 weeks since my last visit, was definitely looking like a yeti.
After the hairdresser had finished she showed me the back using the mirror. To my surprise I noticed a very obvious crown on the top of my head where my hair had thinned dramatically.
I understand this can be a normal occurrence for males however for it to change since so dramatically since my last haircut seems suspicious (in my completely uneducated eyes).
I was on azathioprine for 4 or so years prior to my surgery. I have also been taking long term high dose steroids (up to 50mg). Could the effect of these drugs/the stress of the surgery have caused this? If so, the million $ question is will it grow back/thicken up?
Many thanks.
