    I totally feel you. I’ve the same condition since my early twenties but I only recently went to a dermatologist for treatment. I’m 29 now. I started minoxidil 5% and the first 2 months was devastating, I shedded even more hair than before and was so worried I’ll be bald even faster. And I never had thick hair all my life hence every strand is precious! Thank goodness after 3 months the shedding has subsided and I’m started to see some light (baby hairs yay!) so to whoever is starting on minoxidil please don’t give up.

      @Kiranmai B V I also noticed much Hair growth on my face. So, I stopped using it bcuz there is no going back once you have dense facial hairs. Initially, I thought I'm the only one who had this side effect of minoxidil. But researching a bit, I got to know few ppl get it after using it.

I have curly hair which used to be beautifull and now I can easily see my scalp.... I hope it will be better someday because it really affects my mental health...

      I was diagnosed with it after having my second baby. I chalked it up to postpartum shedding. But I started to notice my part getting wider and my growing thinning. I saw a dermatologist and confirmed it’s Androgenic Alopecia. I was just told that PRP shots will cause the hair to grow back but you may have to continue to other methods to keep the hair once it’s back.

    So I have andro genetic alopecia but I recently got diagnosed with it about 4 months ago but I have like 2 BIg bald spots on the side of my head . Like no way I can hide it . But I had it since I was like 3 . I got made fun of every single day at school . I hate it so much . I cry a lot . It’s my biggest insecurities. I hate wearing wigs . I can’t even change my hair style . I wish I could be free . When I say I have no edges at all I mean at all . It’s very difficult for me . I ask God why ???? Why ? Lord what did I do for you to do this to me . If you know my heart and my goals and dreams you know this holds me back from everything . Social life . Family . Love life . Professionally . I’m 21 years old and I don’t even like going to my college classes because of it . Hair is a woman glory . I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy honestly.

      Jloud+ I really feel for you so MUCH. Understand why you question God over it. I ask God to take me home because I cant handle it. Have you ever seen those hair system things? Deep down I think the answer is that because at least it could be forgotten about for a few months . And then you could wear a blindfold in the salon so you don't have to see the bald reality.
      I believe thinking about it and seeing it, is what drives you nuts.

      It’s possible you have 2 forms of hairloss. Both androgenic Alopecia (caused by genetics) and Alopecia areata, (caused by immune system attacking hair follicles). Unfortunately different hair loss types can overlap. Either way, it’s a horrible experience.

    I just got diagnosed today. I know your pain! My hair is falling more then normal, finally found this dermatologist specialist in hair that gave me this diagnosis. Other dermatologists have told me that was just anxiety due to the pandemic. If I have listened to them I wouldn’t know I have this until my hair started getting super thin. Before that I went to a endocrinologist and all hormones, iron, vitamins are all normal. But it’s great that I found this early in life (21 years old).

    I can totally understand why it feels so terrifying. I was diagnosed with early FPHL too and I'm only in my late teens. I'm glad I went to a derm early cuz I was at least able to at least understand what was happening in my hair. I was prescribed with minoxidil and it was terrifying for me even now on my third month but my hair density has increased and I've seen new baby hairs and few new hair growth around the sides. So, fingers crossed! 🤞 keep going. You will get there, it just takes time.

Sure the conc. will be lesser and prescription will be more relaxed but I guess you stick with it for as long as you need those results to stick. For me, I did have to stop using it for a while and as long as I did not go for any other treatments or anything like that (for my hair) they were still the same as they were while I was using it.

    Thank you for sharing your story. You have every right to get emotional because it is emotional when you experience hair loss. My issue was buying a super relaxer and allowing someone else to put the relaxer in my hair, instead of doing it myself. The relaxer burned and sizzled my hair and scalp. To make matters worse, I started wearing wigs and wasn't eating healthy.

    Thank you for sharing! I was recently diagnosed after a few years of my hair slowly getting thinner and thinner, which my doctors always put down to treatments I'm on for my auto-immune disease. I was so glad I saw a derm when I did because it's still relatively early where other people don't notice, but I know what my hair used to be like so it does such a lot. It's definitely not spoken about enough and feels really traumatizing to go through and feel so alone. Sending love girl!

    I have never related to something so much. It made me tear up, I’m going through the same thing. I’ve currently been diagnosed with telogen effluvium, I’ve had it for more than 6 months and I’m starting to feel it’s something else because I see no improvement. I’ve also been on minoxidil and a bunch of other things without success. For a month I was given spironolactone and I realised that even if it worked, it came with a lot of side effects so I stopped. I’m still currently shedding a lot of hair that makes me cry every time I brush it. I’m only 21 and I’m losing hope. I truly wish this didn’t happen to us. Thank you for posting on this!

I would also encourage you to change your lifestyle (especially if you have PCOS) to naturally balance out your hormones so when you do stop medications, you can ensure you don’t go back to where you started from. I know how hopeless you must be feeling but it is fully possible for us to reverse this. Don’t feel bogged down by your hair loss. It’s only a matter of time before you’re able to grow it back, you just need to make sure you’re doing everything possible to make that happen. And for that, you need to address the root cause. Your sleep, water intake, exercise, diet and stress levels are the biggest influence on your hormones. I’ve been able to manage my condition with special care and I hope to see improvement in my hair too. You got this!

    I’m 25 and got a call from my dermatologist like an hour ago telling me my results came back and that I have androgenic alopecia. My hair has been falling out a lot for maybe 2 yrs now. I delayed going to the dermatologist for a few reasons. I thought I was too young for it to be anything serious, I thought my hair was just going through a weird shedding phase, I got off my birth control, I got Covid which causes hair loss in some, there were just so many things going on that… like I knew my hair was falling out more than normal-which is why I went to the dermatologist to get a scalp biopsy as a secondary concern. I went for something else but figured I should talk about my hair loss too since I’d already be up there- I knew my hair was falling out more than usual but I still didn’t expect those kind of results. I thought the dermatologist would tell me that it was stress, or had to do with my diet, or that my hair was just going through a shedding phase. Something simple. She actually advised against the scalp biopsy cause I’m young and cause she didn’t see any signs of hair loss. Which I was so relieved to hear but I told her I wanted to go ahead and do the scalp biopsy for peace of mind. I know my hair looked good to her bc it looks like average hair at the moment. But just a few yrs ago I had 3x the hair I have now. I used to get compliments daily of people telling me my hair was so thick and beautiful and that I should be in hair commercials. I’m fine with what I have on my head right now. I could’ve gone my whole life with what I currently have on my head. But wow. Androgenic Alopecia. I wasn’t expecting this. Especially at 25. For me, it sounds like I’m going to go through this tedious life long battle of fighting hair loss just to end up with 3 hairs on my head anyway. I’m already battling with depression and anxiety, and my confidence is already non existent as it is. I go in on January 12 to my dermatologist to get my stitches removed and now I guess to talk about what to do next. I’m still in shock.

    I have FPHL since I am 25 (now 47) and with every pregnancy hair became worse and never came back. I tried Minox and Spironolactone but with no results. Always waiting for the miracle to happen, to be among those 2/3 who actually get results. For years I had really bad hair. The best outfit and makeup was draged down because of the hair. Since four years I am wearing wigs and have found my peace. My wigs are costume made (one lasts me about 15 months of daily wear). Naturally I have curly hair with some grey strands and that is exactly how my wigs look, I have them with silk top so it really looks like scalp. and every year my wig maker adds some more grey hair to it ;-) I am very open about it, my kids see me putting the wig on in the morning, all my friends know. I do it for my daughters because, well there is a genetic chance they did inheritate the bad hair genes, and I want to show them, that there are solutions for it. I know it is hard, I understanst you, but it is just hair. and you have a beautiful face with very expressive eyes and a nice head shape, so.... in the worst of cases you could even go bald with a nice makeup on.

    I was diagnosed with aga last week. My mental health declined dramatically since. :(
    What’s weird though is I’m not shedding a lot of hair. Just brand new hair growth that’s all. (Small new hairs in the sink)
    I’m really struggling. My hair was SO insanely thick all my life until 3 years ago. But it just got thinner and finer but I’ve never shed a ton of hair. I’ve had two different diagnosis in two weeks by two different dermatologists. This is getting frustrating. And depressing badly.

    • @tma5878
      @tma5878 2 роки тому

      Sometimes you can take oral minox, but I think only doctor can prescribe it and there’s a bigger risk with side effects (like low blood pressure) - if you’re talking about bad reaction like burning sensation, redness, itchiness etc.
      If you’re using liquid minox and it dries your scalp, it happens becase liquid version contains a lot of alcohol, so better choice is foam. Also, don’t put too much on your scalp, and apply it only to DRY scalp… and leave it there at least 4 hours (so you can’t even exercise after, because of sweating). Don’t let it run down your face (it can cause a bigger chance of having unwanted hairs).
