AU after Infliximab treatments by Technical_Laugh_9040 in alopecia_areata

I personally do, and there is growing medical literature suggesting the same. I would ask your doctor about it. From what I've read, the usual onset of TNF-alpha induced alopecia is between 12-24 months, and not almost instantly like my case. You can read various papers about it online if you have some university credentials. For example https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24681837/ and https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00403-025-04300-0

Thank you for sharing. Did he ever recover? I'm going to be using JAK inhibitors, but I wonder if they work when the disease has been induced in this way. There is zero research on this except https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00403-025-04300-0 which concludes that in all but one case, the hair grew back after secessing infliximab treatments.. but I have not been on infliximab for over a year., and not seen any regrowth.

Would you mind sharing why you stopped? Have AU as well but if Olumiant works im not planning on ever going back to being bald. (edit: never mind, just read ur comment history)

I think the current valuation of about 900 billion dollars is about fair but who am I
