Regrowth, but weird! (Spironolactone, Aldactone)

posted by kweston, 03.05.2008, 20:51

100 mg per day. You? Is your facial hair on your forehead or cheeks at all?
I've definitely stopped shedding too and the regrowth is really just in the sideburn area and by my temples. I'm hoping the hair above my ears grows back too, b/c I recently noticed this area was pretty bare.

ť ť Hair growth in unwanted places is called hirsutism. It is NOT a side
ť ť effect of sprionolactone. In fact spironolactone is used to treat
ť ť hirsutism.

ť ť ť Hi all. This is a first time post, but I've been reading this thread
ť for
ť ť a
ť ť ť while. So, I started Spiro about 6 months ago and right on schedule,
ť ť I'm
ť ť ť seeing hair growth, but mainly in unwanted places. I've noticed a
ť ť filling
ť ť ť in around my temples and hairline (yay!), BUT have also noticed new,
ť ť fine,
ť ť ť light hairs on my face (ugh - I've never had a problem with facial
ť ť hair.)
ť ť ť The unwanted hair is on my cheeks, forehead, between my eyebrows and
ť in
ť ť the
ť ť ť usual facial hair places...I've read that this could be a side
ť effect,
ť ť but
ť ť ť wonder if anyone else has had the same thing happen? I'm not using
ť ť rogaine
ť ť ť or any other hair drugs. I'm not worried now, b/c the hair is
ť ť practically
ť ť ť invisible, but it appears to be growing! Has anyone had this happen?
ť ť ť
ť ť ť Thanks!

ť Hi, I've also been taking spiro for almost 6 months and I also have the
ť facial hair thing. BUT Im also using Rogaine so it COULD also be that.
ť Although I havent seen regrowth yet? It totally stopped the shedding
ť though. What dose are you on?
