    GlossaryNeuropathic Pain

    damage to nerves causing chronic, often burning or stabbing pain

    Neuropathic pain, also known as nerve pain, is a type of chronic pain that occurs when there is damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. This can result from conditions such as diabetes, shingles, or traumatic injuries, and is often described as a burning, stabbing, or electric shock-like sensation. Unlike pain from an injury or inflammation, neuropathic pain is caused by abnormal signaling in the nerves themselves.

They also use dutasteride, topical minoxidil, and dermarolling. Elyktronix, who has been on oral minoxidil for 15 months, recommends it, noting that shedding can be a positive response and that results take time.
