Hi doctor i’m really sorry to bother you but i don’t know if my comment are showing . i will ask one last time i’m so sorry but basically in eyebrows ffa and lpp are tacrolimus and topical steroid once or twice weekly even usefull in stopping the disease progression or is really the only option to go for more powerfull systemic medication such as hydroxycloroquine for someone with an already « decent » protocol which in theory should stop already eyebrows ffa or lpp ( oral min + bimatoprost + dutasteride + isotretinoin + steroid injection + lllt ) Thanks you very much i really don’t know what to add especially since i’m scared of immunosuppressive medication and i already tried cyclosporine ( maybe nac and pentoxyfillinecoulf be usefull ? ) I would love to just stop the disease progression and keep my eyebrows. Thanks you so much for your time and answer
@@hhh-nm3weIn very mild disease states, this may be useful but not in more active disease. Yes, it is possible it contributes to some degree of slowing of the disease but what most patients are looking for is not slowing but stopping. But the answer to this question is that yes, it may do “something” positive to slow down the rate of loss but may not actually turn the disease off in many individuals with more active disease. Be sure to keep close follow up with your dermatologist.
It is interesting to see 70 and 80 yr olds are interested in oral minoxidil. As we have to weigh the side effects against the predicted response we are going to get on longterm use and I wondered is the effect we are going to get depends on the number of remaining follicles in the affected area per sqmetre and is that we can expect only the remaining hairs to be get thicker but no new hair growth ? This will vary depending on the stage of androgenic alopecia ?
Dear Doctor, I have been diagnosed with FPHL grade 2 and I have been on oral finasteride 2.5mg (for 1 year) and oral Minoxidil (started with 0.0625 for 2 weeks, 1.25 for 2 weeks and 2.5mg for 9.5 months). I have seen increased hair shedding for about 8 months, and it continues. (At the same time as I started full dose Minoxidil ie. 2.5mg, I got A cell PRP also done). Will the hair shedding EVER reduce or stop? Will increasing or reducing the dose of Minodixil help to reduce hair shedding? Is the hair shedding seen with Minodixil use proportional to the dose? So far I have had no side effects from Minodixil with 2.5mg for 9 months. Actually, my hair fell out with the bulbs and clogged the drain. Even before I started the treatment it used to come out in clumps. I read that if the hair come out in clumps it cannot be andogenetic alopecia or FPHL. When I asked my doctor he said that it could also have a component of Telogen Effluvium. Pls, advice what should I do?
I would need to see your scalp. That's the only good way to figure this out. I have no idea if shedding will stop as I don't know what you have. PRP needs to be done 3-4 times per year forever so there's no such thing as a one time treatment. All in all, I need to see your scalp up close and review your story from birth until today and review all your blood tests. Certainly autoimmune issues, COVID shedding, vaccine related issues, LPP, and other scarring alopecia need to be 155% ruled out here. Be sure to see an expert! A biopsy may be needed.
@@donovanmedical9780 Thank you so much doctor for taking the time to reply. Is the hair shedding seen as a side effect of Minoxidil proportional to its dose? Thanks
Thanks,Dr.Donavan Is the presumed risk for skin cancer present with dutasteride too ? Also is there any evidence of breast cancer in real world experience for finisterre?
Thank you so much Dr Donovan, as you continue to share your research with us.....
Many thanks for this!

Thanks you very much doctor so what would you recommend to " shut down " the disease and stop his progression in such case?
