Hi everyone,
I’ve been dealing with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), particularly around cleanliness, and it’s been making my hair loss treatment quite difficult. I recently started using Minoxidil and Finasteride Topical Solution, but I’m having a lot of trouble with the application process due to a constant fear of contamination and potential side effects.
I often feel like the solution drops might have touched areas like my neck, clothes, or other parts of my body, which triggers an urgent need to wash everything with soap and water. This entire process is mentally exhausting and time-consuming. It’s also emotionally tough because hair loss itself is a distressing issue for me.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? How do you manage OCD when using topical treatments like this?
Also, am I overreacting in being so cautious about contamination from the Minoxidil & Finasteride Topical solution? I’m worried I might be overthinking the risks, and I would really appreciate some advice on whether this level of concern is justified.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
