Ok, so I finally gave up on ever getting my digital camera back and just bought a new one so as not to keep you guys waiting. Pics to follow.



Shedding & Scalp Itch



As I mentioned last month, Iâ€™ve been going through the worst shed of my life since taking a short break from minoxidil in February. It slowed for a few days and I noticed some vellus hairs sprouting on the hairline and on the vertex and I thought everything was going to be fine.



My assessment may have been a bit premature, as the shedding ramped up again, this time taking tons of scalp skin with it. Up until this week Iâ€™ve been shedding as much skin as hair. Iâ€™ve never had dandruff before, and use 2% ketoconazole shampoo religiously twice a week, sometimes three, but for whatever reason skin is coming off in droves. I honestly felt like I had leprosy there for a few days, with the skin flaking off in large, pea-sized sheets, getting caught in the hair, and being nearly impossible to completely remove as more would dislodge with any attempt to remove the stranded pieces. Youâ€™ll see some little bits of it remaining in the pictures to follow.
