has anyone suffered hair loss with PR?

have had PR for a month now and first diagnosis was a fungal infection and given a shampoo to use as a body wash and boy did that cause the rash to erupt!

went back a week later and given a strong steroid cream for chest and hydrocortisone cream with antifungal to use on rest of body .

told to use these creams twice a day and persevered for a week but the hydrocortisone just seemed to make it redder and sore.

what did happen though after covering all if my body in these creams fir a few days is that my hair suddenly went very limp and lost its shine and started to shed a lot more than normal so back again to gp and diagnosed with PR and stopped the creams apart from emollient . i mentioned hair loss but he put it down to the amount of stress and anxiety i have been under lately.

has anyone else suffered hair loss with PR?

still falling out and added to rash is really upsetting believe me !

Hairdresser thinks linked to heavy use of creams so am praying it settles down soon !
