bimatoprost for hair loss

one of the instructions for using Lumigan or Latisse states not to use on the lower eyelid but it doesn't explain why?

I use Clinique skin care products, almost exclusively for almost 30 years, except for SkinMedica eye cream, but I was having issues before I started with that brand. I do use oil-based makeup remover because I wear waterproof mascara - but again, I've been using the same makeup remover for about 12 years........ and I only wear makeup 3-4 times a week (whose got time for that with kids and work and Scouts and sports and music and "me time"?!

I am using Lumigan (bimatoprost) 0.01% nightly. Cost under my Medicare coverage is pretty high (deductible plus copay). Bimatoprost 0.03% is now available as a generic. What potential problems am I inviting by asking my ophthalmologist to switch prescriptions and start using the 0.03%?

In some cases, there is a need to treat the underlying cause for resolution of the hair loss. Take care always.

If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss. Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones.

Hi. I am 18 years old, and have been having issues with hair loss. It all began about 2 years ago when I initially switched up my diet and lost weight quite rapidly. I lost my period for about 6 months and my hair shed. I had blood work done then, and no irregularities were present. My hair loss eventually subsidized (although my hair never fully grew back), and my period returned. However, in June I missed my period, and my hair loss returned.

Jibs thank you so much for the information I am loving this site already. I know diet has gotta have an impact too, do you know of any foods that are good for hair as well along with the supplements?

Is that normal to loose hair after RAI? i had it done for about 2 1/2 months ago.

Stress is a huge reason for hair loss on anyone. My mom experienced hair loss while undergoing treatments. I have experienced hair loss for stress, medications for migraines (seizure meds for prevention will do it every time). Also my doctor put me on a great prenatal vitamin that helped with my hair loss and I started to have new growth. Soak with your doctor and see what he recommends. Could be a simple imbalance due to stress in itself or the cancer side effects.

Deep repair (which I use), hydrating hair mask. They really help the hair fiber and it will be so much easier for you to comb out! I have also been taking the nioxin recharging complex. As for coloring you hair...I have been coloring my hair through tx and I even permed it recently in hopes to make it look fuller. I have had no problem coloring my hair during tx. Although, I do use all of the nioxin products.

Hello, Stress can be one of the causes for hair loss. Other than that alopecia aereta should be ruled out. The causes for excessive hair fall may be physiological or pathological and include hormonal changes, fungal infection, physical effects (traction, heat, chemicals), psychological & stress-related reasons, thyroid disorders, iron deficiency anemia, excessive intake of Vitamin A, hereditary reasons etc.

I then took Armour 15mcg once a day for one month now and I feel so much better but alot of my hair has fallen out. I am not sure if this has been going on and didn't notice it as I had so much beautiful hair. I eat organic as much as possible,do yoga also.

I need a positive story on hair loss!!! I have lost HALF of my hair. I am sure stress does not help BUT My levels were at for TSH was 14. They swapped my levo for synthroid the brand. That was 2 weels ago I feel aliol more energy but my hair comesout I want to put a bag over my head. I HAVE taken Evening Prim Rose for 2 months, A mulitvitamin, Flaxseed oil, Bioten, AND 100.00 worth nioxen!!! Still falling out! The doc said PATIENCE!!! OAKy let his hair fall out.

But then multivitamins contain very little iron.Iron is in two areas one in blood other is stored.

I was under stress the last month with a sports injury and on anti inflammatory tabs for nearly 3 weeks so dont know if thats the cause, but had hair fall and hair thinning 3 months, thats fast for having a ponytail to be seeing my scalp now isnt it? Im a 31 yr old male, sorry for the ignorance but didnt know men could have thyroid levels changes, how do I find out? My general health is good.

I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist for this as it is important to rule out all the causes of hair loss and reach a confirmatoty diagnosis.Treatment is specific for that diagnosis.Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.

Ongoing hair loss is most often associated with still being hypothyroid, although some people have problems with specific meds. What was the original reason for going on meds and how much are you taking? Free T3 is the most important test, followed by free T4. Free (unbound) T3 is the thyroid hormone that correlates best with hypo symptoms. Suggest that you make sure they continue to test for the "Frees". Are you also experiencing other symptoms?

I am hoping someone will have some answers for me. I am not sure what I should do about this thyroid hair loss I am having. I read that adding t3 helps with hair loss? I know you can not believe everything you read. Right? I did get my new tests back from the doctor today and now I am considered hyperthyroid instead of hypothyroid. I just can not seem to get the right dosage needed to fix me. Help.

Before I started Tx, I looked online for hats, scarves, caps that were specifically made for chemotherapy hair loss. As it turns out, there was a store near me and I went there to see what they had. I picked one out and got the data on it. I did not buy it because I did not want a hair covering if I did not need one. But I felt very relieved that I could call them and get the head covering in less than a week if I needed it. http://www.headcovers.com/ http://www.hatsscarvesandmore.

05% w/w to my scapl twice daily for a week then give it a break for 3 days and apply minoxidil 3% for those 3 days twice daily, along with which he asked me to take 2 pills bioton 600 and spironolactone 100. do you think its a safe combination? its just been 2 days that i started using the drugs.

M BEGINING TO GET REALLY WORRRIED BECAUSE MY HAIR IS STILL FALLING OUT, SO NOW I HAVE STOPPED TAKING MY MEDS FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS HAPPENING, AND SHOULD I STAY OFF THE MEDS FOR NOW??? I HAVE AN UNDERACTIVE THYROID.. HELP??

I was wondering about the hair loss that may occur while on treatment. Is it severe or just minamal? I gotta start treatments Mon and was just curious.

Wow! Thanks for the advice. Would the body hair loss and the persistent cholestrrol and osteoperosis be symptoms? Why is GP so insistent upon referring me to a dermatologist? I asked for a referral to an endocrinologist and he said no!
