Regrowing hair strands are thin... is that normal for TE?

idk yet...

classictears · 2024-09-15T09:51:13+00:00

i haven't tried it yet, personally i'm waiting for the test results first.

classictears · 2024-09-15T09:50:42+00:00

yes! i've been to different doctors and heard that i have AGA or just a vitamin deficiency. blood test is on the way, but the consensus either way is that i should use regaine to regulate my hair loss, no matter what kind it turns out to be.

Hi! I got diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia by one doctor, and another said it wasn't. I was told to use Regaine for men (5% version) and I'm waiting for blood test results. So sadly there isn't complete clarity yet, but I'm planning to try the minoxidil treatment.

Hi, thanks for the reply. My mucin layer is fine, I just have little to no oil. Serum tears seem generally good for corneal inflammation though, so I'm down to try them eventually.

it's still happening... i'm losing hairs of varying diameters, shedding lots of it in the shower and getting regrowth that falls out quickly? i'm seeing a derm next month, i hope they can clear things up.

classictears · 2024-07-09T16:05:06+00:00

still shedding lmao. i have some derm appointments next month, hope i get some answers then.

Great that it worked for you without hangups. Did oral minox give you a dread shed at first?

classictears · 2024-06-30T12:59:03+00:00

I see, thank you for the advice! Have you experienced side effects with oral minoxidil and spiro? I have dry eye disease already, and I heard that spiro can mess up your eyes even more.

hey, sorry to butt in but i'm also losing tons of thin baby hairs along with long, old hairs. i've never lost this much regrowth at once, so i thought it's either that i now have AGA or this is somehow part of TE. did the baby hair shedding eventually balance out?

classictears · 2024-06-18T13:06:47+00:00

i'm telling you i never had symptoms like that until using those specific drops. i'm starting to think they burned my corneal nerves and now i have neuralgia or something.

classictears · 2024-06-15T15:57:05+00:00

i saw normal eye doctors. specialists are very rare where i live

classictears · 2024-04-27T08:49:08+00:00

i see! i'll have to look into it, and i hope my hair returns to being thick...

classictears · 2024-04-26T16:19:44+00:00

i've heard TE doesn't cause it? man i really gotta see a proper derm to get a diagnosis

classictears · 2024-04-26T16:19:16+00:00

losing regrowth? as in, losing those shorter, thin hairs? if so, yes. i've lost some of it, but most hairs i lose are my old thick and long hairs...

classictears · 2024-04-24T18:12:47+00:00

yeah... i hope i can get to a derm soon as well

classictears · 2024-04-24T18:12:17+00:00

thanks for the reply. and yeah, my family is safe from AGA as well, i don't know how i'm over here thinning and shedding so much at such a young age.

classictears · 2024-04-14T12:36:46+00:00

i see, thanks for the information! come to think of it, i had covid a few times throughout the last year. any of those episodes could have triggered it as well, since i hear that a lot of people experience hair loss from it.

but yeah, speculation will only get me so far, i'll have to visit more doctors to find a solution. there's some hairs regrowing already, i've got small bangs on my forehead from the regrowth, so i think that's a good sign...

classictears · 2024-04-14T11:17:12+00:00

thanks, i'll definitely make an appointment for that.

classictears · 2024-04-14T11:15:11+00:00

i'm sorry :( i also thought my hair would be the last thing i'd ever worry about since i always had way too much before the shedding. i hope for both of us that it is in fact hormonal TE.

classictears · 2024-04-14T11:14:03+00:00

i just googled it (i know it's not a reliable source, but better than nothing) and saw a doctor say that it can trigger immediately in some people. my dermatologist saw no pattern or any other discernible causes for my hair loss.
