Hairloss

I use tretinoin gel with minoxidil for my hairloss. However I have come across accounts on the net claiming they suffered from hair loss due to tretinoin. Please guide me to the truth usage and side effects of tretinoin for hair loss treatment. I use propecia minoxidil 5% & tretinoin 0.025% 15 mins before minoxidil application.

Hello Tretinoin shows some effectiveness for treating androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness when combined with the medication minoxidil. Tretinoin can cause slight stinging redness swelling blistering and skin crusting. You should use it for specified periods of time under medical guidance. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
