How much shedding to be expected from Minoxidil

[Valy003]

Hi! Minoxidil is causing an itchy scalp because is increasing pgd2 wich causes inflammation.We know that minoxidil increase pge2 wich is a good prostaglandin for hair growth but also increase pgd2 wich is a bad prostaglandin wich inhibit hair growth and is a messenger from dht.So,you will need a pgd2 blocker.That s why minoxidil for some guys causes hair thinning and shedding all over the scalp and loose effectiviness over time.A pgd2 blocker with minoxidil is the key.I know what i m talking about.I read a lot.And for me its working.You will not find for now a very good pgd2 blocker but let me tell you what i use: black cumin oil(oral and topical-inhibits pgd2..i know that an italian company will realease this product),antihistamine cream and vitamin E succinate.Also i use oral and topical castor oil and a dermaroller(once at 2 weeks)And i can say that my hairline is filling up.I used finasteride and minoxidil in the past with no result.But now its workink.What i have changed?Prostaglandin protocol.Sorry for my very bad english

Shedding to Minoxidil is a one time thing. It just pushes your resting hair into growth.

When I first started losing hair I took minox because it was so convenient to use, cheap, and seemed like there was least consequences.

I regret not looking into finasteride and FUE hair surgery sooner. In my opinion, those are the real and only options.
