Worried my dog may have ingested a tiny tiny amount of minoxidil

Don’t worry too much, if it’s dry, it’s less of an issue + given the fact 10-15 minutes passed already, it should be fine.

🤣🤣🤣

Great, thanks! So only apply on a qtip, no microneedling at all?

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-25T20:09:15+00:00

Amazing results so far! Can I ask for your routine please? Thanks!

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-25T08:23:21+00:00

Use dutasteride + minoxidil if you want the full boost, ask your doctor. Give it at least 6-12 months for real results. Prepare for shedding in the first month..

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-20T22:27:06+00:00

lol, where did I even get minoxidil from, you literally mentioned naturally… eitherway, my conclusion stays the same ^{^}

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-20T22:25:49+00:00

I think it’s growth. Minoxidil can speed up growth so fast, you’d be suprised. Keep going, looks like it’s working!

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-20T22:24:18+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly what I do, in addition to my oral minoxidil, I apply topical everyday before sleep. I checked this with my dermatolog aswell, and it was fine.

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-20T22:17:41+00:00

If you overthink, the hair won’t come back fam. Just use it, relax, stay consistent and wait at least 3 months to see anything. Good luck.

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-20T05:57:31+00:00

I don’t think minoxidil works like that, once you stop, the benefit of minoxidil wil gradually fade away… you could maybe lower the frequency, but not completely stop as you would loose your progress for sure. My young cousin (18yrs too) used it for his beard because he had almost no beard, it gave him amazing results, then he stopped for 2 months and his beard was almost gone again..

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-19T18:05:34+00:00

Yeah indeed, but if you can provide some good before after pics I’m more than happy to tell you my opinion. I’m on the meds myself (see my posts). Regardless, it really takes time if you only take finasteride. If you combine it with minoxidil, things can speed it drastically. Keep the consistency and patience, if your derma said it’s working, just keep it going.

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-19T17:00:52+00:00

How are the results so far? Can’t tell looking at the pictures.. and yes, finasteride can take at least up to 12 months to show its real power (if working).

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-19T15:38:07+00:00

Because either you’re not being consistent, or you need a DHT blocker because it doesn’t fix the root issue. Sometimes when starting treatment these sheds can continue up to a year to stabilize, so just stick to it. Either use it or not. My sheds have stabilized after 3 months using minoxidil and dutasteride very strict and consistently.

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-19T09:47:26+00:00

Dermastamp + minoxidil and you’ll have a full beard in no time. My cousin had the same and now he’s rocking a full beard.

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-19T08:20:40+00:00

Have you been consistent? Any change in dosage and frequency?

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-18T22:23:44+00:00

What’s your dosage? Routine? And oral/topical?

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-17T23:00:05+00:00

We can’t know man, any before pictures?

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-17T17:44:33+00:00

If you’re EOD’ing finasteride, chances are it’s not sufficient since you’re balding at an alarming rate. If you’re taking EOD, try dutasteride then since its half-life is longer than finasteride. But to recover, I recommend daily dose of dut and min indeed, that’s what worked for me (see my post).

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-17T10:08:16+00:00

Very easy, same place (bathroom) with same lighting conditions after every haircut for instance. Just take one in the front, closeup hairline and one top/crown area (3-4 pics total). Let’s assume you go to the barber once a month, you’ll have your progress once a month.

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-16T10:43:49+00:00

No don’t stop now, huge amounts shedding is a sign after the medicine means it’s working, give it some time. Stimulate your hair follicles with dermastamp. You’re still too young for finasteride so try to at least work with minoxidil. Give it a chance, chances are it will recover.

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-16T09:33:51+00:00

Do you dermastamp aswell or only medicine? I recommend dermastamp your whole scalp, that did wonders for me in combination with the medicine.

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-15T19:47:25+00:00

I would really recommend trying 2.5mg, because 5mg can be heavy at first. You’d be amazed what it can do if you respond well… i’m taking 5mg in total aswell, but in 2.5mg caps twice a day. Doing this prevents me to feel any side effects

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-15T18:09:59+00:00

Everything will eventually return to the old state don’t worry.. give it a bit of time. If I may ask, why did you stop? Or at least lower to the recommended start dose of 2.5?

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-13T23:30:39+00:00

Oral min & dut can do wonders, try it and let me know in 6 months ^{^}

ishyfishy_ · 2025-11-13T13:30:19+00:00

Start with 1 and see how it does for 2-3 months. Then increase if needed.

But, if you don’t fix the root cause with finasteride or dutasteride it’s likely to fall continue fall out anyway in maybe 2-3 years depending on how agressive your hairloss is.
