Hi everyone -
I live in Florida and I am currently on my
Second week of a four week trip to Albania. (Wife is from here) My regiment is Hims hybrid spray, derma stamping, and ketocanozole shampoo once to twice a week. Use hair fibers as well.
I have been on the Hims spray (has min and fin) for 1.5 years. I had made some gains during this time and was relatively happy.
I have had a couple shed periods that last 6-8 weeks along the way. About three weeks before leaving on my trip (2nd week in June) I started another shed. After getting to Albanian it seemed to get worse. The water over here is crazy hard. (I have a water softener at home in FL)
We went to the beach for a week and the day after leaving the beach my head started to itch and has a burning sensation. There is also a little bit of small white flakes of dandruff. Feels like tiny little needles when I touch my hair at the scalp. With the itch and burning came even more shedding. There are areas of my scalp that are red.
On the last day at the beach I was wearing a bandana with a hat on top to try and keep my hair from getting too wet in the water.
I went to a dermatologist here a week ago and she said I have sub derm. The visit was very fast and my confidence in the medical system here is very low. The doc prescribed a “betamethasone, salicylic acid” solution that I am supposed to apply twice a week. And a new shampoo. (Not ketocanozole) see picture.
I have been using my ketocanozole shampoo one day, a gentle shampoo the next and the one the doc prescribed the following.
When I put my hims spray on it is burning and feels worse. So I have not used it for four days.
Hairs is coming out every time I touch my hair. Showers and combing are miserable. There are really no hair dermatologist here for me to consult with.
I’m lost here and spiraling with all of this hair loss. Any
