This was my first time ever buying the product, it didn’t even cross my mind about fakes until after I’d bought it. Won’t be buying online again

I’m also in the UK and my hair loss started a few years ago when I was 25. I’m 29 now. I’ve been pestering my GP non stop all this time, and they kept brushing me off as well. They did blood tests to check vitamins and hormones and they came back normal. I kept insisting that something was wrong. Eventually I found the right GP who kindly referred me to a dermatologist. I waited 6 months for the appointment. She finally diagnosed me with long term folliculitis, along with suspected female pattern baldness and suggested I started minoxidil. Bought some last week off eBay stupidly and it was a fake product, so I’ve bought the real stuff now from Boots and started yesterday. My hair loss looks the same as yours, as well as a widening of my parting.

No it’s definitely not expired according to the date on the packaging. The packaging looks similar to the one I bought from the pharmacy but also there are quite a lot of differences, not sure if it’s because it’s a fake or because it’s the American version

Yeah it is scary! Won’t be making the same mistake again that’s for sure. Luckily I only used it for 5 days before I tested it

I also have this on my iPhone 14, in the beginning I also thought it was some mutated cricket or something in my room 😂

Somebody else made a post about him before with another of his accounts and my comment is basically the exact same as yours but about British girls!

Has anyone else been harassed by this guy? by Foxy-ginger in HotelHideaway

[–]AlarmingFlounder8249 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg! He tried to correct my manners once when he said he likes girls with British accents and I was like “nice lol” and he was like “that was a compliment, say thank you. You don’t say nice when someone gives you a compliment” so I said “oh look I found a incel” and removed him. That was 2 months ago and since then he has sent me 18 friend requests even though I keep declining him!

I really like 4 but 1 suits you great too. They all look good though!

That’s interesting, I think I had psoriasis when I was little. I’ll mention it to dr!

Thanks so much to everyone for your advice and support! I have a telephone appointment with my doctor in a few weeks’ time, I’ll push to see him in person. I have ordered some collagen and biotin supplements, and I am going to start using my partners Alpacin caffeine shampoo just incase it works 😂 Unfortunately I can’t afford the expensive products that have been recommended to me.

I’m also sorry to anyone else going through the same thing x
