Check out my scope pictures

Those dots could be a sign of telogen effluvium according to Donovan hair clinic. Are the dots pigmented yellow?

I think you meant to quote @iCloud ?

So quick update. I’ve been researching inosine pranobex and apparently it’s an immunostimulant. Meaning it does the opposite of what I’d expect a treatment against the immune system to be. @kaneki experienced good things on it, but I’m trying to understand if it’s worth the risk.

Maybe suppressing the immune system is the problem and we should be boosting it after accutane induced hair loss? I know that accutane is theorized to suppress the immune system so acne won’t occur. Maybe doing the opposite of that will fix the problem.

That is a good theory. I always figured that suppressing the immune system would be key, but I'm willing to try isosine pranobex. Just need to find a good source of it.

God, my scalp is so itchy today... Accutane really messed me up

I’m trying to find a source without needing a prescription. I’m going to buy around a month’s worth if possible (3g a day) and see if it does anything.

So according to my derm, there’s a persistent redness all over my scalp. It’s gotten better since treatment but if you look closely there’s still red patches in the pics.

and for miniaturization, I honestly can’t tell. There’s some small hairs here and there but is that growth or miniaturization? Not sure so I came here to ask

Bro. Why didn't your dermatologist tell you if there is miniaturization..its their job to diagnose and they didn't give u that.

My dermatologist only did a biopsy and visual inspection. They didn’t take those scope pics. But yeah, as far as I now they haven’t pointed out any miniaturization.

I want to point out that my derm who looked at my scalp with a trichoscope noticed miniturization. And my hairloss was triggered by accutane

Immune hair loss can cause miniaturization so I wouldn’t worry

Where do you get scope pics done?

Trichologist or you can buy your own

So do I see a dermatologist or trichologist of the trichologist has this equipment bit dermatologist are apparently better at diagnosing... Which one for hair loss.

Dermatologists usually have a trichoscope available to use, so it's better to see a derm

Anyone else born from C-section here?

Lol what. That’s fairly random. And I wasn’t born from a C section

Can I send you a close up pic of my hair with camera and you tell me if it looks like balding?

god f*****g damn my scalp gets so itchy and inflamed everytime I eat something heavy in gluten. Just had a bag of hot cheetos and already feel my scalp itching like crazy. I'm 100% sure autoimmunity plays a role in accutane induced hairloss. I'll continue to take my extreme anti-inflammatory meds and hope for the best

It’s okay dude, you’ll get a handle on it. It takes time for those meds to work

what do you eat on a daily basis?

 

[Gunnersup]

what do you eat on a daily basis?

It varies on the day, I eat basically anything

 

[deathdiss]

cut dairy out and processed food. Theyre nothing but a cancer for hair.

Not here in my city at least. The only one who had a trichoscope was a trichologist. All the derms I went to so far evaluated my scalp with their bare hands and naked eyes, meaning they can't conclude sh*t
