Just came across various posts stating about hyperandrogenicity! To my surprise i guess it solves my recent questions. However i’d be needing your input as i’m new here & still learning.
I was prescribed multivitamins with saw palmetto about 3 months ago, and 15 days into it following things happened:
1.My scalp got oily, super oily enough to encourage usa to help my scalp get freedom. *JK*
2.Next couple of weeks, my forehead, and nose got oily.
3.Started to lose hair of length 1-2CM.
4.Body oder was strong.
5.Started to lose body hair, eye brows and eye lashes. (Also had alopecia areata before but it only affected my scalp)
I stopped the medication for a week and i was doing good though it didn’t supress totally but i was 70% relieved.
Then after a week i got finasteride! I’d previously popped one a year ago, 1MG and it fucked me up psychologically. Also can’t blame finasteride totally due to my anxiety issue and hard fact to accept that i’m balding & thinking my dermatologist is stupid.
2days ago, i popped in .25MG finasteride! Honestly i was feeling so relieved that i’m safe and taking the main of the BIG 3. I was positive however the next day, scalp & nose were oily af. Accompanied by pain behind my eyes, maybe because too much time infront of the screen? But it has never happened to me lately.
I want to question you all:
1.Is this hyperandrogenicity?
2.Losing hairs of length less than 2CM was a shedding phase or body hair?
3.Is it too soon to comment? Or i should continue finasteride?
4.I’m very particular about my body, it should smell fresh. During the treatment i was smelling so i started bathing 3 times a day!
5.Maybe i should use topical antiandrogens? RU or spironolactone?
Thank you all, looking for your input.
