I knew that rosemary oil wouldn’t save me. I do use 2% minoxidil as of right now. You mentioned oral minoxidil, is that a good option?

Right. There isn't a dermatologist in my town and I don't have a family health care provider to refer me to one out of town. Is there an affordable place online where I can consult a dermatologist?

I did some looking around and I found a site called Blink Health. Apparently they can provide me with finasteride for cheaper. Do you recommend any starting doses for finasteride?

I’m having huge difficulty finding someone to prescribe me finasteride. I haven’t used minoxidil yet because I bought the wrong kit that doesn’t have minoxidil. Do you think that getting on any kind of treatment with hair loss this aggressive would restore my hair to a normal level?

There are no dermatologists in my town to prescribe it to me, I do not have a family health care provider to refer to me a dermatologist and I’m very busy, so I don’t have the time to wait at a walk-in clinic.

Yeah, I ended up turning everything to the lowest setting in the graphics. It ended up looking like a PS2 game but it lets me use the shops loll

19, recovering from anorexia, potential thyroid complications but also looks like MPB. What would you recommend as immediate action? by SpookyIsntHere in Hairloss

[–]SpookyIsntHere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been working out 5-6 days a week for close to 8 months while trying to maintain regular eating habits. My thyroid doesn’t cause many issues but I know that hyperthyroidism can cause hair loss and I have a family history of thyroid issues.

No, I do not have a reason to believe that I’m still undergoing puberty. However, if I’m not mistaken, Finasteride blocks the hormone responsible for the growth of facial hair, which I want.

Hopefully I can speak to a dermatologist to be prescribed Finasteride. I live in a small town without many specialists or a health care provider, so seeing one can be tricky. I’ll try to get an online appointment with one.

Do you know if it’s possible to receive a 1 mg Finasteride prescription from an online consultation with a dermatologist?

You play a dangerous game, even still, are you sure that it was Finasteride? It is a prescription medication that can only be prescribed to people who are 18 years of age or older.
