11 years ago I was diagnosed with AGA (26 yrs old). Tried finsterid but had awful side ef, so I stop. Loss has been focused on temples. 1.5years ago started minoxidil topical & oral (first 2mg, now 4mg) which worked OK. To boost response doctor prescribed to keep oral and change to minox + Dutasteride topical. But 4 months later I have been enduring massive shedding, losing density and hairs falling are miniaturized as never before. Is dut making things worse? Should I go back to only minox?
After a diagnosis back in 2021 of long covid i have had hair loss and stomach issues. I have since been told i have fphl and been put on treatment but the hair loss persists. Recently i tested positive for gastric parietal cells is there a chance stomach issues could be making the hair loss worse?
Experiencing hair loss post-Accutane. Initially thought telogen effluvium, but now itching with postules and widening part. Biopsy revealed scar tissue on bald patch. Ive been diagnosed with Telogen effluvium, seb derm, AGA, and bacterial folliculitis. However, the fourth derm said I failed the pull test. Unsure what to do as all the derms did not favor scarring alopecia even though the biopsy on the patch came back as scarring. Should I see another dermatologist or am I just worrying?
I'm 43 yrs old, thinning for several years. I've been on fin and min for 5 yrs, my hairloss was halted with some regrowth. I quit fin 3 months while trying to conceive. I started to shed badly and lost nearly 30% of overall hair. I had first prp treatment last month. I restarted fin last month as well. I would be fine if i can recover 50% of my lost hair. I still use 5% min twice daily, LLLT cap and microneedle. Is hope lost? Any other treatment options to boost recovery?
I am currently 21. I first noticed lower hair density in 2019 when I was 18. Ever since then, my hairline has receded and my hair has thinned all over my scalp. I seem to have diffuse alopecia. I was wondering if male pattern baldness was the only cause of this hair loss or if there could be additional underlying issues contributing to it. Also, will minoxidil and finasteride be effective for my case?
I have been shedding and itching for 7 months. Was diagnosed with seb derm, TE, and MPB. Used Keto 2%, clobetosol, doxycycline, and am trying 2.5% selenium sulfide. Nothing seems to work. Ive noticed a completely bald spot that my derm suspects may be a scar. However, he noted no abnormalities in the rest of my hair. Im skeptical since Ive noticed a widening of my part and lots of hair on my pillow and in the shower. Im desperate to stop the itching. Do the pictures look like its permanent?
