Can Ferrous Sulfate Taken For Iron Deficiency Cause Pimples On The Scalp?
Brief Answer:
it could be a hypersensitivity reaction
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
iron may cause hypersensitivity reactions (allergy). There are many potential manifestations. Skin rash is a very common one. Clobetasol sounds like a more likely cause of hair loss than iron particularly if hair loss started after initiating clobetasol.
Perhaps you can try taking a different iron tablet and using an antihistamine instead of the corticosteroid solution. Remember to ask your doctor before changing your regimen.
I hope it helps!
Kind regards!
