Clinical and Histological Study of Permanent Alopecia After Bone Marrow Transplantation

A blood cancer survivor in remission since 2022 is experiencing thin and patchy hair after chemotherapy and is using Minoxidil without much success. They are seeking personal experiences and advice on hair transplants after cancer treatment.

The user had a hair transplant in 2022 and stopped using finasteride due to lymph node tuberculosis, expressing concerns about restarting it. They are considering alternatives like PRP and topical treatments but are hesitant about minoxidil due to past hair loss experiences.

The user has been using a hair loss treatment protocol including topical dutasteride, minoxidil with tretinoin, ketoconazole shampoo, microneedling, a laser cap, and vitamin D for 15 weeks, showing impressive progress. Feedback suggests continuing medical therapy for 12-24 months before considering a hair transplant.

A 26-year-old male experienced hair thinning since age 18 and tried various treatments, including topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and a hair transplant. He is currently using topical finasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, hydrocortisone, and oral dutasteride, and is satisfied with the results 6.5 months post-transplant.

A user is seeking advice on increasing graft survivability after a hair transplant, mentioning PRP, Mesotherapy, Stem Cell injections, and considering L-Arginine before starting Minoxidil. They are looking for ways to support blood flow before applying Minoxidil.

The user has been using 1MG finasteride, 5% minoxidil, LLLT, and derma stamping for a year to improve hair density for a potential transplant. They are considering switching to dutasteride and are unsure whether to proceed with a transplant now or wait for more growth.
