TLDR Some patients on anti-TNF drugs experience a type of hair loss called TAIAPA.

The document from May 24, 2012, discussed a newly identified condition called tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor associated psoriasiform alopecia (TAIAPA). This condition, characterized by hair loss, was found in patients who were on tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (anti-TNFs). The emergence of TAIAPA was not unexpected due to the known occurrence of paradoxical psoriasiform eruptions, including palmoplantar pustular psoriasis, scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, guttate psoriasis, and plaque-type psoriasiform eruptions, in patients treated with anti-TNFs.

community What makes them say exercise doesn't increase hair loss?

Exercise has minimal impact on hair loss, with weight lifting slightly increasing DHT and cardio potentially decreasing it. Finasteride and dutasteride are effective treatments for managing hair loss, even for those who exercise regularly.
