Am I Seeing Regrowth From Meds After Only 40 Days?
hello doctor Rassman.
im using minoxidil %5 and propecia for about 40 days now. i think i’m seeing some regrowth because when i gently touch the more empty areas of the scalp,i feel some spine-like little hairs which i think i couldn’t feel them before. am i right or is this just my imagination?another thing which scares me a lot is the non-stop shedding even after this long time use. is this normal? i’m 18 and i’m really confused about continuing these drugs or not.
Growth after only 40 days of Rogaine and Propecia use would be unusual. Initial shedding is known to occur at times from both medications, though it is more common from Rogaine. It shouldn’t last beyond the first few months.
I do not know what is going on in your case. Perhaps you need a good examination (including a miniaturization study under a microscope and bulk measurement).
I know exactly what he means by saying that. I even can see them, after only 2 months, I examined one of those spine-like hairs, it started to grow, 1mm to 3mm and it had a good diameter too. but after about ten days one morning it was gone, I blamed my Nizoral for that ( i was just starting my nizoral) but I once again I can feel them, but they do not seem to grow. does anybody know anything about it.
