Stopped using minoxidil for a while

[Gabe]

Now vs June 25th.
Will start using a micro-needling roller for each frontal side and perhaps I could get back to somehow normal.

Hi Gabe. You`re hair has improved quite a bit. Some people are switching to Oral Minoxidil now which is an option for you.
Did you find out what the substance was that you scraped off your scalp?

Hey Bigmac, I still did not find anything but with the new preparation the quantity is much lower. If I don't wash my hair for 2-3 days I will get some sort of dandruff. I guess it is important to wash it once every 2 days or so.

Maybe use a shampoo like Nizoral to help with dandruff/dry scalp. Twice a week should be enough.

the reason for this , it seems to me, may be syborium psoriasis (it occurs under stress and may disappear unnoticeably , but in your situation I am sure that you are dealing with stress )

I am that stupid guy who gave up using minoxidil for 3-4 weeks and the hair loss showed up pretty bad. Then I started using it again but since then I didn't notice any improvement (in the past year). I only use it once a day (before / after I stopped using it). Do you consider I should try twice a day? I tried the roller once a week but didn't have any result either. Should I consider the hair transplant?
