Question 2

Ive been using minoxidil 5% for pattern baldness for the last two years. It worked well at first, but now it seems like it's not doing anything. Does minoxidil stop working after a while, or is there something else going on?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil 5% is a common treatment for pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). While it can be effective, its effectiveness may decrease over time.Receptor downregulation: Minoxidil works by binding to specific receptors. Prolonged use may lead to a decrease in receptor density, reducing the medication's effectiveness.Other factors: Poor scalp health, inadequate application, or concurrent medical conditions may also contribute to decreased effectiveness.Options to consider:1. Consult a dermatologist: Discuss your concerns and explore alternative treatments, such as finasteride (oral medication), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.2. Combination therapy: Using minoxidil in combination with other treatments, such as finasteride or LLLT, may help maintain or enhance its effectiveness.3. Scalp care: Maintain good scalp hygiene, and consider using scalp serums or shampoos that promote hair growth.4. Realistic expectations: Understand that minoxidil is not a cure for pattern baldness, and its effectiveness may vary.

These dark spots could be a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in individuals with skin of color, like yourself. To help reduce the appearance of these spots, you can try using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel in the evening on the affected areas. Additionally, using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Make sure to apply the medication as directed by your doctor for best results.
