我问:I put Minoxidil 5% without propylene glycol on my forearm for 1 week and my forearm got Allergies/itchingPls check the photo.Otherwise I used Minoxidil 5%,my 2forearm got longer hairHow do I do? 他答:
Because you experienced irritation on your forearm with 5% Minoxidil without propylene glycol, it suggests that you are having an untoward reaction to the minoxidil itself. It's very unusual, but it does happen. You should discontinue the use of minoxidil. As an alternative to medical treatment of hair loss, you might consider hair transplants. I am amazed at how good the results of hair transplantation are with the newer techniques.
Be sure your surgeon is going to do transplants as follicular units and not the outdated plugs. You may also talk to patients who have had the work done. When you go to a clinic to have transplants, be sure that the surgeon with whom you have the consultation is also the one who will be doing the surgery. There are many groups that have a prominent 'front name', but the actual surgery is done by a subordinate partner.
The two most widely utilized methods of hair restoration surgery are microscopic dissection of follicular unit grafts and the increasingly popular technique of follicular unit extraction (FUE). In the traditional method of microscopic dissection, the follicular units are removed from the donor area in the occiput (back of the head) by single-bladed elliptical excision microscopically dissected beneath the binocular stereoscope. The donor tissue is trimmed into follicular units and implanted into the balding area using a needle tunnel or small slit incision.
In the FUE method, a specially designed surgical punch is used to remove single follicular units from the donor area for transplantation to the recipient site. This surgical technique has the advantages, at least theoretically, of 'a more rapid recovery, minimal or undetectable scarring, more rapid graft growth, and the possible expansion of total available donor sites.' The disadvantages include a significantly increased surgical time necessary to transplant any fixed number of follicular units and a steeper learning curve for the surgeon in order to achieve excellent results.
