Question
Dear sir / Madam, my son is 20 months old. He is suffering from 'Nephrotic Syndrome' from 20/04/2005. now the prednisolone dose is reduced to 15 mg / alternate day. My problem is hair is growing on his face just from 15 days . It might be due to side effect, but I want to know whether the hair will vanish after stopping prednisolone or not. Please mail me regarding this side effect. Regards, Subhashini
Answer
The hair growth is seen with prolonged steroid therapy. This will regress with stopping of steroids. Your doctor will be monitoring for side effects of steroids. Back to All Questions
