Could Minoxidil 5% be causing extreme hair shedding, 7 months after FUE hair transplant? (Photo)
YermaJul 21, 2015
I had FUE surgery 7 months ago with 3000 grafts. My age is 33. My results were looking good until month 5. Between months 5 and 7, I've experienced an extreme form of hair shedding. My doctor has said that this is unusual but that he believes the hair will grow back. I had side effects from Propecia so I stopped that. I'm taking Evening Primrose Oil tablets and using Monoxidil spray. I've read that some people experienced hair shedding due to Monoxidil. If so, should I stop using it? Thank you.
