Re: Folliculitis :/
Heh about working out i'm pretty sure I get enough exercise. My job for years has been moving furniture, so I get about 5 hours of exercise a day x 5 days a week. So about 25 hours a week plus I walk about 2 miles everyday. It can be a real marathon moving stuff sometimes, once had a job that was 17 ...

Re: Folliculitis :/
Yeah it is tough to control what you eat. For me it was like an addiction, I would me miserable all day at work thinking about my hairloss and folliculitis and then come home and comfort myself with ordered out lasagne and pizza and fries and cheesy bread! Along with several cans of coke. One day I ...

Re: Folliculitis :/
Hi. So what kinds of things are you eating? I have trouble finding food to buy that won't make the folliculitis worse. I probably was predestined to have mpb but I think Accutane really sped it up so instead of showing up in my late 20's it came in my late teens. My father has a better hairline than ...

Re: Folliculitis :/
I don't see why Propecia would help me. Accutane inhibits 5 alpha reductase in skin anyways. The way Accutane causes hairloss is with stuff like upregulation of p53, bax, caspase 3 and 9 and TGF-Beta 2. Thinking of using topical lithium to normalize the p53. The Apple poly stuff should be getting ...

Re: Folliculitis :/
Nizoral is of no help. Only stuff that's antibacterial helps. Yeah the folliculitis is painful and itchy. For hair regrowth I was using Xandrox 5% but had to stop since it was making me feel like crap. Now I only use Tricomin, Apple Poly spray, topical Spiro, Emu oil.

Re: Folliculitis :/
This mass thinning of my hair happened 7 years ago. It didn't thin after Accutane but during my treatment. It took about 4 months of Accutane to make my hair diameter about half as thick, even on the sides and back of my scalp. It hasn't really gotten any thinner I don't think, just my hairline is ...

Re: Folliculitis :/
I have what looks like mpb but it was caused by Accutane. I had a thick head of hair that my hairdresser would complain about but then one month into Accutane I noticed my hairline was suddenly receding. Over the next few months all of the hair on my head had miniaturized into fine straw like crappy ...

Re: Folliculitis :/
The folliculitis doesn't have anything to do with any topicals i've put on my head. As accutane destroyed all of my hair it made my scalp so dry and it has remained dry ever since. I wonder if the dryness makes the problem worse. I don't understand why drinking lots of water has a big impact on it ...

Folliculitis :/
Hi, I seem to have a persistant problem with this menace. I took Accutane years ago which gave me hairloss and folliculitis on my scalp. I wanted to get a hair transplant but of course this stupid folliculitis is preventing me. It responds well to Tetracycline, Minocycline, Doxycycline, and ...
