Could anyone here please give me Dr. Chu's contact details? I hope he can give me some answer to my stubburn acne problem. I think I'll have to see him privately as I don't fall in his NHS zone. Thank...

Hi, thanks for sharing your interesting experience .........glad to hear that by no longer using minoxidil you have had positive results.   How soon after stopping minoxidil did you start takin...

Hi guys,   It might sound illogical but its a bit interesting. First time I took accutane was in Jan 2006 and was brave enough to take a short course in Dec last year. I started shedding hair str...

Hi guys,   Do you know much about Minoxidil 15% (xandrox). I am currently on 12.5% which is working fine but I thought to try 15% this time round if it makes any difference. My main reason to swi...

Hi Guys,   Hope u all r doing well with skin & hair. News not very good at my end. I have stopped tane because of excess hair fall and now I feel my skin is slowly going back to its earlier s...

Hi Mikey,   Well I am not sure how well Vit B5 works but I suspect it would also have hair fall & scalp drying effects. I am now in such a tricky situation. I've tried almost everything for a...

What are your thoughts about Nizoral shampoo? I read about it in this forum only and going to use it tomorrow. It seems to act on dandruff and itchiness which is what caused by accutane. Also its got ...

hey guys, so i just finished my treatment and i definetly have notcied somethings up with my hair. I've never seen any hair on my pillow or anything like that but right above my temples the hairline h...

Thanks for ur reply, Max.   What would you suggest for the scalp irritation & itching I've already developed. There's also a small sore lump at the centre of my scalp. I'm surely getting dow...

Max,   My scalp itches from time to time but it never really bothered me that much. I just massage my head with my finger tips and most of the time it reliefs the itching.   Recently I've ...

Pity26,   I don't understand why you went on accutane again since you had already experience hair loss during your first course which has yet to recover. I feel that you are playing with fire and...

hey guys,   I am in the same boat of hair loss as you. This is my second round of Accutane. First being 3 yrs back, and that hit my temples & hair line badly. I started using Minoxidil since ...
