Question Thank u for your last response. I have a great derm and will ask her to do a biopsy, as you suggested. Unfortunately, the earliest appt is Jan.
In the meantime, I would like to tell you how much WORSE my condition is in just 5 months.( I know everyone who writes to you says that but I promise u it is true) In July, I could still style and tease my hair to hide condition. 5 months later, I cannot do that anymore. Suddenly, hair all over head is thin and flyaway and cannot style or DETANGLE at all. This was not true just a few months ago!
Can this possibly be from upping my Sprio from 50 to 150, ADDING Yasmin and upping rogaine to 5% ?!
I have now left my job and can't go to my childrens functions. Im afraid the meds are CAUSING this but know not to ever stop them unless told to by my dr.
Thought I was doing everything right. Need any wisdom you can provide! Thanks so Much! Beth
Answer If you are having tangles with your hair, I would try a conditioner after you shampoo. This should help. You may be have two conditions with your scalp. You may have female pattern hair loss and you may have what is called a telogen effluvium which is where the hair goes into a shedding phase. In 20 years of being a dermatologist, I have never seen medications cause hair to behave like you describe.
