Είχα στείλει ένα e-mail στον Δρ. Λεε με θέμα " Some questions about hairloss treatment".
Σας κοινοποιώ το e-mail γιατί θεωρώ οτι λέει κάποια πράγματα που μπορούν να φανούν χρήσημα σε όλους μας.
First of all, thank you for your quick response to my last e-mail. Please excuse me for spending your valueable time with my questions, but dermatologists in my area are acting quite ignorant towards androgenetic alopecia (For example the only mediacation they prescribe their patients is minoxidil, they totally ignore finasteride as a treatment against MPB instead they prescribe expensive vitamin supllications).
As I told you, I am norwood scale 2 and I am 22 years old. My hairline started to receed slowly about 1,5 year ago and I didn't even notice it. I noticed about 8 months ago that I am loosing more and more hair and my hair in the front is now very thin and colourless. About 2 months ago I started propecia and fungoral shampoo (european brand name of nizoral/ the days I don't use fungoral, I use Neutrogena's T-gel for greasy hair) and 1,5 month ago I started with your Minoxidil 5% w/o propylene glycol (I am not allergic to propylene glycol). I experienced some side effects due to the use of propecia like lowered libido and less volume of sperm (but my sperm didn't look like water like some other users of propecia refer). After 1 month of 1mg finasteride my libido got a little better but not like it used to be before the use of finasteride so I decided to stop propecia 2 weeks ago and try some topical dht/anti-androgen agents. I haven't used propecia for 2 weeks, my libido is still at a lower level than it used to be before propecia, the volume of my sperm is still less, and I have also noticed that since I started propecia I don't have any prospermatic fluids. How long is it normal for theese side effects to occur after stopping the use of finasteride?
In my last e-mail I asked you about topical spironolactone. Ι made my own 2% topical spironolactone liquid (with alcohol, propylene grycol, purified water and aldactone pills). Now I use 2 timers per day 1ml of minoxidil 5% and at night 1ml spironolactone 2%, 10 minutes before I apply minoxdil.
I want to try your spironolactone lotion 5% because I consider the liquid cosmetically inacceptable due to its smell.
The feeling of the lotion on the scalp and hair, could be compared to the feeling of aloe vera on the scalp and hair?
Can any systematic side effects occur from the use of topical spironolactone?
( I intend to use the 5% lotion in the morning after applying minoxidil, and at night 1ml of spironolactone 2% liquid before minoxidil, is this too much?).
Also, are their any other solutions for an efficient topical medicament that cand handle dht?
My last questions is about the use of minoxidil. Dermatologists in my area prescribe for MPB minoxidil 5% but they tell their patients to use it 3 months and then to stop it for 2 months and then again to start it for 3months and so on. Is their any sense in this?
