Here is my experience with topicals so far in case it helps anyone
Im on topical spironolactone/estrodial and minoxidil.
I am a woman.
I started the topical spironolactone about 10 weeks ago. Minos for 6 weeks.
My hair always short cycled on top of scalp for several years--grown 1-2 inches and fall out with white bulb.
this week it is staying rooted in head for first time in i do not know how long.
I am getting regrwoth---very modest but its there.
I have NO idea which is doing it.
Im still shedding a lot of long hairs---but i think this is minoxidil and seems to be slowing down.
But it was the short hairs that were causing me to lose density--that at least this week has stopped...which is highly unusual for me..and i am happy but not sure what is helping with that.
I went on topical spironolactone because years ago i tried oral spironolactone and it really messed with my period and idid not want to take the birth control pill with it...so i tried the topical.
I am not sure if its the minxodil or the spironolactone that is helping my hair live longer but that is what is going on.
I have to mention i am also on very high (Dr prescribed) dose of iron because my ferritin was very low...But i do have Androgenetic Alopecia because i had 2 biopsies and my hair thinning is all top of my head not the back or sides...and i had blood work all normal except for D and Ferritin. Hormones all normal.
