Changes in hair color
Date: 10/30/2016
Regarding yellowing, green alien looking hair. I was asked last week if I’d been abducted. I swim – so assumed it was coming from some chemical interaction in the pool. Or maybe eating too many peas. Or the B vitamins I OD’d on. Today I put the Minoxodil on the scalp and hair at the kitchen sink. I had put some bleach in the sink prior to this and noticed when rinsing my hands – the deep yellow colour in sink. So put some Minox in a little bleach. Low and behold. My yellow hair dye. You can try L’oreal Expert shampoo for white hair which helps. Not too much or your hair might turn blue instead. Lemon juice. Ketchup. Google it. Or just slap on some conditioner and allow to be absorbed and dry – then apply the Minoxodil. Shampooing a couple hours later. It can and does work. Good luck.

Hair growth for patchy beards?
Date: 11/13/2016
I’m using a hair regrowth product for men, by equate. It has minoxidil as the main ingredient. I read online somewhere, that you can use this to promote hair growth for patchy beards. Will this work?

Jay

AskDocWeb: That would be ?off-label? use, which means that the medication was not intended for that purpose and in this case is not approved for use on the face. How effective it would be can not be determined because it has not been studied in a clinical setting.

Date: 12/5/2016
Hi AskDocWeb, I am Sasi* male(25). I am facing hair fall for more than 5 years. I have lost 80% of my hair at front. I consult with my doctor. He gave morr7.5% and qilib. I am applying Qilib in morning and morr 7.5 at night. I am applying for more than 2 months but I am still facing hair fall when I use morr 7.5. Is there any other solution for this? Thanks in advance.

Sasi

AskDocWeb: In order to determine other possible solutions you would first need to know what is causing the hair to fall out. Here is a list of some of the causes of hair loss:

  • Body’s immune system attacks hair follicles

  • Death in the family

  • Drugs used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, high blood pressure and birth control

  • Family history (heredity)

  • Hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania)

  • Hairstyles that pull your hair tight

  • High fever

  • Hormonal changes

  • Lichen planus

  • Menopause

  • Pregnancy, childbirth

  • Radiation therapy to the head

  • Ringworm

  • Sarcoidosis

  • Some types of lupus

  • Stress

  • Sudden or excessive weight loss

  • Surgery

  • Taking to much vitamin A

  • Thyroid problems


It is easy to see that the different possible causes listed above would require different treatments and to know which treatment might work best you need to know the cause.

Unusual weight gain
Date: 12/14/2016
I have been recommended to use mintop 2%, I has heard it may cause unusual weight gain. What does your experience says?

Om

AskDocWeb: Although it is rare, rapid weight gain is one of the possible side effects of Minoxidil. This may occur if too much Minoxidil is being absorbed into your body.
