I have some light acne outbreaks and some dry skin... Knock on wood, no hair loss. Three infusions in.

I'm on my 3rd infusion (started April 26th,2013).
No hair loss noted (mind you, I'm on prednisone too and I actually have extra facial hair growth due to that.... so not sure what would happen if not on steroids)

Don't recall reading hair loss as a side-effect for Remi. anywhere while researching.

I did have head hair loss a few years ago not sure if just FLARE related or Prednisone related at the time...

I lost heaps of hair but was on Imuran and Remicade. Stopped imuran and hair has stopped falling out.
