Six months (almost) update. Growth too slow

[Alex Grey]

This 27 January would be completing 6 months.

please do check my profile for previous information 

 

as discussed with several members here.

had my scalp checked at Eugenix 

 

they suggested me to stop using topical minoxidil as it was causing me allergic reaction.

making my entire scalp itching a lot with inflammation.

And to go on oral minoxidil 2.5 a day 

 

I have stopped topical minoxidil since a week and my itching on scalp has significantly decreased 

 

my current clinic 

the original where I got transplant from advised me against foam minoxidil as it is less effective and wants to stay on topical liquid minoxidil even if the itching persists and to take cetrizine to counter the itchiness

 

i do not find this wise.

how long I’m suppose to take cetrizine like this.

Even if I do

i have severe issue of dandruff 

And I’m using ketoconazole shampoo to encounter it but it is rough my hair for every day use

 

im using a dove niacinamide shampoo alternatively for a non ketoconazole shampoo for my dry scalp

will see how it suits my hair later as i only had one application so far 

 

so

id be making my case again to my current original clinic to start oral Minoxidil 

 

I will get my ecg checked this weekend and hope to start oral minoxidil if everything goes fine 

 

also had my dht checked 

It’s 288pg/ml

i think that’s normal.

didn’t look much into it

 

i took the test as I might need to go on dutasteride later 

 

the growth of my hair is still very slow

im waiting as patiently I can 

 

I wished if everything would have gone smoothly like it does with all patients of hair transplants as they get most of their good results by six months.

unfortunately I’m not one of those 

so I have to keep faith 

 

people who have been commenting on my previous posts,

hope I have their queries also answered which they asked me before 

 

thank you
