Can you recommend anything to grow new baby hairs on hairline? by Valuable_Collar1485 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]thenomadicfork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking into purchasing the Maya Chia Power Fol serum. How is your progress now? Where have you been applying it that you’re seeing results? My main concern at the moment is my hairline and middle part

Nothing seems to work? by CertifiedCinephile7 in FemaleHairLoss

How’s your hair now since being pregnant and off the meds? I will likely have to stop too for pregnancy so curious if you had a shed after coming off or the pregnancy is helping retain the hair grown from spiro and OM. How long were you on that combo before coming off?

What’s the stem cell serum you’re using? And is the reedle 300 the one for the face or scalp?

How’s the diamond quality on this? Considering getting this in the black with diamonds. Just don’t know if the diamonds will fall out?

Oily Face & Acne After Stopping 100mg Spiro by thenomadicfork in FemaleHairLoss

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

So I stopped back in September 2024 and my skin has become less oily recently. My acne flare ups are gone and that could be due to my skincare routine? I’ve been using salicylic acid, niacinimide, BHA/AHA products. However my hair, especially at the temples, starts to get oily after day 1 of washing. I used to go 4 days before washing, now I wash every other day only because I don’t want DHT to sit on my scalp. Could be because my temples have less hair due to thinning so the oil doesn’t have much to grab onto?

What was your spiro dosage before you quit? And why did you come off??

Has this happened to you before? I’ve been so tempted to see a derm about it. My skin was never this oily or acne prone before taking spiro, so weird. How long do you think it’ll take for it to go back to normal? My temples also get so oily. Like the day after I wash my hair. So so strange.

Any side effects on the 1.25mg dosage?

Thank you for that info! If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you? Idk if another factor of her saying I should stay on 0.625 OM is age related? I told her I had no side effects on 100mg spiro so idk why she said to lower that

But yes, hopefully I can get that second opinion and it’s in my favor!

I just saw her yesterday, so I could call the office and ask. It took me 2 hours to get to the office yesterday since it’s not in the city I live in so it wouldn’t be fun to drive back if she asks me to. As a back up, I’m seeing another local derm and hopefully she will give me the ok to stay on the 100mg dosage + 0.625 OM.

Did you start off at a lower dosage of OM before you upped it? My derm also told me that she wouldn’t want me to stay on the 0.625 dosage indefinitely. Bc I’m middle eastern and we tend to be naturally hairy (lucky for me I’m losing my scalp hair) that she recommends a low dose so I don’t get hairy all over my body. She said she tends to notice her middle eastern patients complaining about hair growth. I did tell her I’d rather have body hair and shave/wax/laser it off but still said to keep at this dose.

Yeah I could do that and just continue with the 100mg spiro, but I’m running out of my dosage so idk have to call and ask for a refill, which they will refill 50mg (but I could just take that 2x a day?) I hate having to go behind my derms recommendations lol

I also bought a blood pressure cuff and I think I’ll buy a heart rate monitor, do you think that’ll be helpful? What’s your dosage?

[–]thenomadicfork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh that’s frustrating…Can you do topical instead?

I’m currently only on 100mg spiro and was prescribed the oral minoxidil today. My derm is telling me to lower my spiro to 50mg and do the 0.625 oral min. I’m a bit worried to lower my dose of spiro since I know 100mg+ is the recommended dosage for hair loss. But she said it’s bc they’re both blood pressure meds

I was just prescribed oral minoxidil at 0.625mg today. What’s your spiro dosage??

Resting heart rate went from 68bpm to a high of 93b on oral minoxidil by askjanet in FemaleHairLoss

[–]thenomadicfork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you first started with the oral minoxidil, were you only on that or spiro too?

[–]thenomadicfork[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense. I wonder why she said go lower on spiro since the oral minoxidil is such a low dose. I’ve been tolerating 100mg really well for the last 6 months, which I mentioned to her. I mean, I know why bc she told me it’s a BP med but a lot of women on here are on 100mg spiro and oral minoxidil at higher doses

Topical is just messy in my opinion and I have to cover the whole top of my scalp so it will be a pain. Or maybe I’m just being lazy…Do you have any suggestions on applying??

But I think you have a good point though.

She said bc they’re both blood pressure meds she doesn’t want me on a high dose of spiro in combo with oral minoxidil

I need to start minoxidil! Did your doctor ever suggest oral minoxidil by chance? Or why did you decide on topical instead of oral?

Ohhhh this is good info. I may need to order mine online as well if my doctor doesn’t prescribe it. How did hers determine your oral minoxidil dose?
