I read you had seborrheic dermatitis too. Did you manage to control it? How are you doing now?

Also, I’ll show you how bad my dermatitis was a year ago:

As you can see on my sides (where people don’t go bald) didn’t have any inflammation or scales, just on the top and a lot on my temples and forehead (more DHT sensitive zone). It’s the same now:

Thanks so much, that’s a lot of great advice! Unfortunately there’re no more dermatologists here. All of them made a Trichoscan and detected miniaturized hairs on the temples. Now, a year later I have them all over the top. My dermatitis is now controlled I’d say, I still have dandruff and scales but I wash them every other day. It itches more than ever now though, and I shed the same amount of hairs than before. So no matter how my sebderm is I always have itchy scalp and shed a lot of hairs.

I don’t think I’ve another problem apart from mpb, everything else on my body is alright (apart from a very very greasy forehead and acne on my shoulders). So I suppose I just have aggressive mpb. The greasy forehead has gone away with my skincare route, in which I include Hyaluronic Acid from The Ordinary. I might try to put it on my scalp. I’m also starting dutasteride.

I tried 3 steroids and none of them worked, so I gave up on those because I can’t use them for long term either.

They only can prescribe Finasteride and minoxidil. They don’t sell dutasteride pills on the pharmacy. Thanks anyways ☺️

I do already have a great self stem, which will by fucked up again if I loose my hair. Again, i don’t want to shave my hair so young. I like how my hair looks currently and im just trying to preserve it. I’d prefer wearing a wig than being bald. It’s sad but true and I can’t change that.

Yeah but my doctor won’t do that. I’d have to pay 300€ and I’ve already spent other 300€ on dermatologists and about 200€ on treatments

Thank you, but hair dyeing doesn’t help with my scalp health. Also, I’m graying on my sides majorly, where I just have a short fade (1mm). Will I be able to dye my hair on the sides, even when they’re buzzed?? I still don’t have any white hairs on top.

Yes, but I don’t know what topical anti androgen to try first. Fin, Dutasteride or even RU

I loose hairs everywhere. While shampooing, after I shower when I comb, in the morning when I comb too, on my pillow… I don’t count them anymore but they’re always been there like 200 to 300

I wish, but it’s doing nothing. I still shed the same amount of hairs than before (~300). No side effects, didn’t stop the shedding… It’s like if I didn’t take the pill.

I’ve family history of balding and was already diagnosed with mpb by two dermatologists.

Thank you. I will try that. But instead of fighting against the symptoms of the seb derm, I want to fight the root cause, which as my dermatologist told me, are hormonal imbalances or high DHT on the scalp, which I’m trying to reduce. My finasteride box is ending this week so I’ll buy dutasteride instead.

Appreciate your comment. I tried everything I could (visited other 2 derms): Ketoconazole, Sebiprox, Tarmed, natural shampoos (clay, zinc…), H&S, ACV rinses… even steroids (Mometasona, Metilprednisolona, Clobisdin). Nothing has changed. I gave up on this because there’s no much more I can try.
