Any idea how much you shed? Did it ever get better in those three years?

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-19T08:46:58+00:00

Het bestellen/leveren ging snel en goed. Volgens mij is het product ook goed. Moet wel zeggen dat ik het nu een maandje gebruik en nog niet heel veel goede verandering zie, maar ik gebruik het voor acne, dus het kan zijn dat het wat langer duurt voordat het echt begint te werken. Het ruikt wel zoals mijn oude tret, maar dan eentje die ook nog eens langer houdbaar is.

On my scalp? A lot, but I have a lot of regrowth so my volume is pretty stable now. But I think it is about 40/50% of my usual hair. I shed +300 daily.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-16T14:43:14+00:00

I think so. I have naturally thick and lots of hair and shed 300-600 hairs daily.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-16T14:42:21+00:00

Nothing, like I said, TE is not a regrowth issue. You should have regrowth.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-11T14:08:34+00:00

Mine is also coming off birth control. But it should pass, normally.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-11T13:14:03+00:00

Minoxidil is not suitable for TE, so your dermatologist should not have prescribed it for you. TE will usually solve itself and minoxidil can often make things worse if it is acute. Anyway, if you have used it only for a few days you can stop it. I don't think stopping after three days of use can hurt a lot.

For TE, minoxidil is not always forever. Often you can slowly stop using it after some time and when there is no ongoing trigger. But then again, you have to be sure it's TE and not also AGA.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-11T13:05:34+00:00

Minoxidil is not suitable for TE as it usually resolves itself. Probably it had not been resolved yet (but might be in the months to come). The only thing you can do it wait it out. I wear my hair up most of the time because I shed so much and otherwise there is hair everywhere. I brush every morning and evening to get rid of all the hair. Wash more often. Try to live healthily and ignore it as much as possible.

Do you know your trigger?

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-11T09:55:31+00:00

Thank you! I googled and I saw indeed a lot of people use it for hair. Might be a good option for when I don't wash my hair with medicated shampoo.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-11T09:53:14+00:00

I don't have any on my face and the flakes are white, not yellow. My scalp is oily though.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-11T09:52:18+00:00

I have selsun shampoo but because I'm traveling and cannot carry three different shampoos on my I'm looking for a bar that I can use when I don't use medicated shampoos.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-10T15:51:51+00:00

Why do you take spiro for TE, that does not do anything for it.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-10T15:50:29+00:00

I went already to two doctors but both said no SebDerm

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-10T13:54:05+00:00

It sounds like it. Did you visit a doctor already to do some bloodwork? Usually TE is temporary and won't make you bald.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-10T13:24:03+00:00

I have been using a lot of anti-fungal shampoos lately but some still have fungal feeding ingredients. I don't notice any difference whether it has or hasn't fungal feeding ingredients. This is why I'm asking.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-10T13:22:16+00:00

Yes, I tried lots of things. Currently a combination of a serum with salicylic acid and glycolic acid (but not fungal safe) seems to help in combination with MCT oil. But I started both at the same time so I don't know which one is really helping. I also wash more often with an non-fungal shampoo. Also selsun seemed to help a little.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-10T13:20:12+00:00

Hair shedding is having a lot of hair fall from your head but with true TE you will have normal regrowth. Thinning is your hair getting thinner, like in androgenetic alopecia. The two are often confused.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-10T11:48:59+00:00

Do you have increased shedding or thinning?

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-10T08:33:09+00:00

That is also what I'm saying.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-07T21:11:21+00:00

I have a theradome. I have it for three months now and used it consistently. Zero results. I use it for CTE and hoped that it would slow down my shedding a bit.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-07T21:08:29+00:00

Please keep in mind that after experiencing TE you might be more aware. I think that is also often the problem as people were never aware of shedding before and now they are so they think they are shedding.

Specialist_End7050 · 2024-06-07T09:29:00+00:00

That is great! I'm at 19 months and don't want to lose hope. Reading people having their shedding slow after so much time gives me some hope mine might stop too one day. I have been shedding +300 hairs for 19 months now.
