My boyfriend noticed a few months ago that I had a bald patch, well line. I did it think much of it, as I just have fine hair. I have curly hair though, so when I wash it after I get out of the shower I flip it over to scrunch it and put it in a tshirt to dry a bit. Well each time I have done that, it has been remarkably less and less. To the point now, I cry. And don’t want to wash my hair.
So I spoke to my dr, he thinks it’s stress and prescribed me finesteride (sp) 5mg tablets cut in half taken every other day.
I went and saw another doctor and have have a full panel of blood tests taken, I could be peri-menapausal. But as I don’t have a uterus, it’s hard to know. I don’t get hot flushes. But I have terrible brain fog and my memory is that of a gold fish. So I see him tomorrow to get those back.
In the meantime I am having led hair booster treatment, monthly biotin injections, I also take the supplement each day. I am having platelet rich fibrin, not plasma, injections into my scalp. I have a derma stamp with a copper peptide serum that you use daily. And then a compounded topical application with minoxidil at 7%, with caffeine and tretinoin.
The dr also recommended a shampoo with biotin and ketoconazole as well. I would love recommendations.
And finally, he mentioned getting a script for spironolactone, but I’d need a liver function test. Which should’ve been done as part of my blood work I’d say. Has any one taken this?
Is there more I can be doing? I have adhd and I’m hyper fixated on this, so need to do it all now.
Til;dr hair loss regime, advice on what I’m doing/taking.
