My daughter is 12 years old & has been a Vyvanse patient since she was 7. As a child, always having a full head of hair...she is suffering from severe hair loss. She started off on 20 mg. & now that she has moved up to 60 mg. the hair loss is even more uncontrollable. We were always told she had alopecia, We use steroid topical cream for her scalp, but locations of baldness are changing. Nothing seems to be working for her & we need help!!!
Hello, Perhaps she has alopecia errata. I don't think Vyvanse is the cause of her hair loss.  I request you to kindly upload a few images of the affected area so that I am able to have a look and guide you accordingly.  If it is indeed alopecia errata then she may require either intraluminal steroid injections or topical potent steroid applications. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. , Dermatologist
