Question 4

I've been dealing with hair loss for the past year and initially had some success with minoxidil 5 foam and dutasteride dutamax. But after three months, I switched to minoxidil 5 liquid and duprost dutasteride, and now my hair's shedding like crazy a...

Accepted Answer

It seems like the change in your medication from minoxidil 5% foam and dutasteride dutamax to minoxidil 5% liquid and duprost dutasteride may have contributed to the increased hair shedding. I recommend switching back to minoxidil 5% foam and dutasteride dutamax as they were working well for you before

Question 5

I've noticed that my lunula is missing on all my fingernails except for my thumbs. I'm kind of worried if this could be a sign of some underlying health issues or if it's nothing to stress about. Any insights on what could be going on?

Accepted Answer

The absence of lunula on most of your fingernails could be due to various reasons, including genetics, trauma, or certain underlying health conditions. It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking biotin supplements to support nail health

Question 6

I'm using minoxidil as my doctor prescribed, and I'm thinking about dyeing my hair. Do you think applying hair dye will cause any issues while I'm on minoxidil?

Accepted Answer

When using minoxidil, it's essential to exercise caution when applying hair dye:

_Wait period_: Avoid applying hair dye for at least 24 hours after using minoxidil.
_Patch test_: Perform a patch test with the hair dye to ensure you're not allergic to it.
_Choose gentle dyes_: Opt for ammonia-free or semi-permanent hair dyes, which are less harsh.
_Avoid overlapping_: Don't apply minoxidil and hair dye to the same area simultaneously.
