I am a 34 year old male. I have been steadily losing my hair for approximately 8 years. I tried regaine back in 2006, and used it for about 8 weeks. However, I stopped using it following advice from my GP, because my scalp became severely irritated, causing soreness and weeping. As a result, several lymph nodes appeared around the back of my head and neck. During this period I went on holiday to Menorca and my scalp was exposed to the sun and I wondered whether the reaction was due to this.
For this reason, I decided to give regaine another try 5 years on, and predictably, I am even thinner on top than I was. I am currently on day 4 of the treatment, and this morning when I woke up I noticed small pimples on my scalp where I have been applying the treatment, and very slightly itchy. I am worried that this may be the onset of the same problem that I experienced in 2006. Reading the leaflet, I understand these are common side effects, but even still I am concerned. I hate losing my hair and always found this distressing and I am desparate for this to work this time. Any advice would be grately appreciated. Thanks.
