So ive been on the big 3 for about 3.5 months with very slow progress(maybe some small hairs on hairline),and I had a dermatologist appointment yesterday.
He looked at my hairline and pointed out the small hairs i have as new hair which i hope is true.
I told him about my red scalp and flaking and he told me i have seborrheic dermatitis [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]both on my face, which i did had some flaking but though it was from dry skin and my hair. Also advised me not to use minoxidil while it was red. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]But then he prescribed me some retin A (0,5mg/g) and told me to use it on my temples.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Questions:[/FONT]
1-Is there any chance stopping minoxidil for a few days to make the red on my skin go away cause a shed?
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]2- I dont know much about retin a, looked it up and found some people actually complaining about it causing hair loss. From what i understand it is used to increase the rate of absorption of minoxidil, but is that beneficial in the long run? Should i use it?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]3- Do any active members have any experience with retin a?[/FONT]
Thank you.
