    Wonderful progress. Has the pill form of Minoxidil caused any unwanted hair to grow ie. on your face? Apparently, this us a possibility.

    I also was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata during COVID-19. I lost hair on my crown. When I went to see my GP, he confirmed it. Fortunately, my hair has grown back for now. I was told that it is an autoimmune disease and not caused by stress. I wore hair toppers and received many compliments, and that helped with my confidence.

    Thank you for sharing your story. You have the best attitude. I have a different type of alopecia and totally get what you had to be feeling. Mine started before yours and is one without a cure but you really can control it if you treat it as soon as it gets active. I have been in Minoxidil for years now and I will never stop it unless there is a medical reason that I have to. What I have is called lichen planopilaris. I take many different medications Spiranolactone that it doesn’t allow the hair growth in other parts of the body from Minoxidil also different vitamins like Kerotin and Nutrafol on a daily basis. I have always had great dermatologist from Universities where they do studies for new treatments therefore I know I am always treated with the latest. I am also blessed with a full head of hair but it takes a lot to keep it that way. I wish you the best and God willing we will remain in remission for good. I love your country. I live in the United States but I have a son that has been living in Manchester for the last 14 years. Good luck and keep us updated on your journey.

    My daughter just found a large spot of baldness a month ago, she only told me 2 weeks ago. We are seeing the doctor next week for a dermatologist appointment. In the month the spot has not grown so hopefully it was mostly caused by the start of high school and all the stress that brings.

      Hey! I stopped taking oral minoxodil roughly 5-6 months before this video was recorded and haven't taken any since! My hair is still going strong and is pretty long now! So altogether - I took it just for 7 months from March to November 2019 :)

    • @qqhk9647
      @qqhk9647 2 роки тому

      Thanks so much for your reply. Also, please advise if there was any side effect as I had tried to rub those mouse foam, it seems that I had some hair grown near my mouth just like moustache, then I stopped using it. Also, will that work for hereditary hair loss or menopause hair loss at all? Please reply when you can. Take care and thanks a lot again!

    • @TheGemAcademy

      @@qqhk9647 Hi! Sorry, it's been so long. I did not get any noticeable side effects from the tablets of minoxidil. I had not used foams or creams or any topical treatments for a long time as my scalp became super sensitive to this stuff and would come up in a rash. The only thing I did was the tablets for 10 months.... I do not know whether it will work for someone else in my situation - or any other causes of hair loss.

  • @siaw6487
    @siaw6487 2 роки тому

    I’d rather have what you had than Androgenetic aloepcia 😢 because this can’t be reversed or cured at all. 💔 is it true if you stop minoxidil though that hair will fall back out? I heard you have to be on monoxide for the rest of your life to possibly keep it.

    • @justmemyselfandi7760
      @justmemyselfandi7760 2 роки тому

      AGA can't be reversed all that much, but it can be treated. Minoxidil puts it on hold for as long as you keep using it. Once you stop it returns to the baseline (ie. Where it would've been if you never used minoxidil at all). Finastride is also an option if you're male or a female past reproductive age... Comes with crazy side-effects though for some people so it's important you keep communicating with a physician. Do check out Rob English's website and research articles. It's not a cure all by any means, but during my alopecia journey it was the only place I could get authentic information from without feeling depressed.

    • @TheGemAcademy
      @TheGemAcademy 2 роки тому

      Heya! I only took oral minoxodil for 7 months in 2019 and haven't used it since - and just hairs still going strong! So from my experience - it's not the case :) x

  • @siaw6487
    @siaw6487 2 роки тому

    I just got diagnosed with aga a week ago. 😔 but it can’t be reversed at all. My depressions worsened and it’s taken such a toll on my mental health because it will only progress over time. I’d rather have something that can be reversed. 😞
