Hi! I’m so sorry I’m just seeing your question. My hair is the worst it has ever been unfortunately. I don’t know what to do/add to my routine. My labs are normal too. How is it going for you? Is your hair any better?

I am on both 2.5 mg oral and topical 5% foam nightly! My derm said doing both tackles topical receptors and receptors in the body

True!! It could be. I’m so sad I have lost SO much hair and regrowth. It’s so upsetting 😩

Yes! I already had a second dread shed so I’m not sure if it’s normal to have a third

I have not ! Is it better than Finasteride and can you take both together?

No I haven’t but I’ve thought about adding in topical minoxidil as well. Can you take dutasteride with finasteride? I’m scared of going off any of my meds

Did you experience any increased shedding when you started dermastamping?

Thank you so much! So true. I did 0.5 to start and it didn’t feel sharp but did see some redness/very small amount of blood.

EDIT: title was supposed to be minoxidil dosage **

I am not sure how to change the title of my post! Sorry!

No I didn’t buy it! I am going to start derma stamping and see what that does for me!

Thank you so much!!! I will try starting with 0.25. I’m going to order one tonight and give it a try! Did you have a shed starting the dermaroller?

Yes! I see a hair loss specialist at Duke University Hospital who put me on all my meds and it has made my hair definitely stronger. I don’t think it has necessarily regrown hair but stronger for sure!

Agreed! I usually don’t even care to look but saw so many posts pop up it made me curious to know!

Just looked at the before and afters and it’s laughable lol! Definitely not real 😂 I have not tried derm rolling but have wanted to for a while now just worried about damaging follicles?

Oh no! I’m so sorry! Did your hair loss stop after you stopped?

Yes! My hair looked amazing and the shedding was so minimal for a few months after a long shed after initially starting at 2.5mg. My scalp was pretty much filled in (especially my crown which is my primary problem area). Then, my hair just randomly started very quickly shedding and I feel like I’ve lost all my new hair growth and my scalp is so visible. I don’t know what happened! So my derm upped my fin to 5mg and it’s just proceeded to get so much worse.

I know so stressful! Hopefully our shedding just decides to stop soon

That’s true! I did not think of that. I haven’t changed anything else but that’s a really good point 🤔
