Tobias Wolf Weighs Immune-Blocking Drug After Sudden Hair Loss

He is weighing a doctor-recommended immunosuppressant that would weaken his immune system.

Overview

  • Tobias Wolf said in Instagram videos that he lost hair across his scalp, face, eyebrows, beard and body in about two weeks.
  • After visits with specialists, doctors recommended an immune‑blocking drug designed to halt the autoimmune attack on his hair follicles.
  • He has not decided on the treatment because suppressing his immune system could raise his risk of infections.
  • A dermatology professor told BILD the pattern looks like alopecia totalis, an autoimmune disease that attacks hair follicles, and said newer biologic therapies exist.
  • No firm diagnosis has been announced, and he continues medical checks as he copes with the sudden change with support from his family.
