Looking to see if anyone has what I have going on currently. I used minoxidil for 3 years up until December 2014 and used finasteride for 2 years until around July 2015. At the one year mark on finasteride I got crazy scalp pain on the left hairline and started shedding 300+ hairs a day. Scalp was so irritated, burning, itchy and all that so I finally quit minoxidil (liquid). Kept on finasteride and the scalp still hurt. I came to the conclusion that my dentist could have possibly damaged a nerve after a root canal and it could have triggered shingles.
Anyway, I've now been on dutasteride and Setipiprant.. dutasteride for 4months and seti for almost 2 months. However, my scalp still hurts in areas and I'm shedding around 120 hairs just showering and drying off and they are mixed lengths and some are tapered. I'm not sure if post minoxidil Telogen Effluvium can last longer than a year... Or if I just don't respond to anything which is crazy lol.
The problem is, almost all my shed hairs have yellow build up covering the root and sometimes sebum balls on the hairs shafts. This has been going on since November 2014! Doctors say "some people get that" lol which means " I have no idea what you are talking about or what you are showing me"..
So, anyone know what's up or go through this?
