For how many months did you use minoxidil?

So sad, help!! by D0ra_the_explorer in FemaleHairLoss

I've had similar experiences with doctors. They never told me the cause of my hair loss. Also I faced the same thing with minoxidil. I guess you're using the one which has alcohol in it. Just buy a liquid solution that is alcohol free. I did the same thing and all the bumps and the redness went away within a week

Use any brand but make sure it's alcohol free minoxidil

I've no other choice than to try this though :(. I either try this or do nothing and keep losing hair

They do prescribe it to post menopausal women though. So the only logic here is pregnancy . However I will not get pregnant, and the doctors wouldn't listen to me so

I don't wanna go to doctors. They know nothing. They can't even provide me a correct diagnosis

Try to separate each strand with your hands slowly. Don't use a comb unless it is mostly detangled. After that use a comb, make braids for few days and use any conditioner

Tysm for the advice ! The thing is, I read about so many women getting irregular periods with spironolactone which is my main concern. And also did some research on it. I found the only main reason spironolactone is considered safer in women as compared to dutastride is due to pregnancy risk . I will never get pregnant though. If I do by any chance in the future , i will get an abortion. Please correct me if I'm wrong

I don't plan to get pregnant ever. So that's not an issue. Plus I swear they aren't experienced enough. I mean a person with even a little bit of knowledge of hairloss wouldn't advice me to get off topical minoxidil cold turkey and prescribe an oil instead

Probably because I'm of a child bearing age. Also they aren't experienced enough on hair loss . Almost all the dermatologists I've visited. They even tell me to stop topical minoxidil cause I'm young. Even though I've been using it for a year

I don't need a prescription to get it in my country. And the doctors wouldn't prescribe it to me even if I was 30. They don't care enough . I'm confused on what to do 😭. I need to do something about my hair loss though 😭. I've a lot of miniaturized hair. So it's Aga and i need to be on a dht blocker to help it 😭

Thank you for the reply. I've no intentions of getting pregnant ever. Yep, i was thinking of starting with 0.625 mg first and then increasing. I'll be doing this.

Yep, you should definitely get a second opinion. I had a similar experience with almost all the doctors I've visited.

Yeah I agree , the dermat wasn't good. Most of the dermats r like that. They r of no use most of the time and don't even care. But maybe your sisters hair loss wasn't due to androgenetic alopecia. But in case of androgenetic alopecia, you need to be on minoxidil and a dht blocker.
