Hi all,
I'm 51 years old and suffered a trauma 14 months ago, the passing of my wife....several months after her passing I noticed hair line changes, thinning of the shaft and texture changes, very dry itchy scalp and hair on my hands (20/30 strands)when washing. My family members on dads side have MPB, good hair on moms side. I saw a derm for a skin check up months and asked about hair, he said yea it looks like mpb and start rogaine and gave a prescription for shampoo, now on head and shoulders , but seems it's super dry. I started rog. for a few weeks and it seemed as the scalp itch was worse And scalp got got RED/burned and really irritated from rite aid brand Rogaine . I can live happily with what I have left but don't want anymore loss.
It's my thought that the trauma started , although I'm new at this??? Saw a hair doc last week he wants a biopsy of the scalp and didn’t think it was MPB confused:
My side burns and one eyebrow thinned several months ago and came back sideburn on left is thinning again.
What do I do? Different Rogaine, propecia
Lastly any good hair doc suggestions In San Diego ?
Thank you
