Regrowth, but weird! (Spironolactone, Aldactone)

posted by mssaprl9, 03.05.2008, 22:01

ť 100 mg per day. You? Is your facial hair on your forehead or cheeks at all?
ť
ť I've definitely stopped shedding too and the regrowth is really just in
ť the sideburn area and by my temples. I'm hoping the hair above my ears
ť grows back too, b/c I recently noticed this area was pretty bare.
ť
ť
ť ť ť Hair growth in unwanted places is called hirsutism. It is NOT a
ť side
ť ť ť effect of sprionolactone. In fact spironolactone is used to treat
ť ť ť hirsutism.

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

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

Im on 100mg to. And yes It is on my forehead and cheeks! I hope I get regrowth on my temples and side areas to, these are the only areas Im even concerned about! I guess we'll find out its almost been 6 months.
