Using 5% Minoxidil For Hair Fall. Started Severe Hair Fall After Using Rogaine Foam. What Should I Do ?
Hi Doc.. I have a question regarding hair loss . I ve been using 5% minoxidil for a few years without propyl glycol that I ve been buying from a doc online. I recently switched to Rogaine foam and in a few days began shedding. Within 10 days had a massive shed. I had some diffuse thinning, but within 10 day lost about 1/4 inch at my hairline which was pretty full. I understand a shed when starting treatment but all i did was switch brands. I stopped the foam after 10 dyas but am still getting a shed. Do I stay with the Foam and ride out the shed? Thanks
Well there is a possibilty that you have developed allergy to preservative in foam and that is leading to this . I advise you to stop the foam and consult your treating dermatologist for further advise .
Take care.
