Steroid side effects resume: facial hair and relapse

Unfortunately, the steroid side effects include unwanted facial hair growth, prompting the doctors to halt therapy. As a result, Enakshi loses the hair again and ends up completely bald. She begins wearing a synthetic wig to cope with her appearance.
