Remox question (Hair Transplant)

posted by CIT , 07.01.2008, 17:33

ť The area on the
ť ť top of the scalp initially had hair growing in it from the strip
ť ť procedure, but later became completely bald. The loss of hair in this
ť ť area was correlated with the application of topical combination of
ť ť Minoxidil and Retin A. The patient noted that the area gradually
ť became
ť ť irritated and red with the development of a crust. Scarring alopecias
ť can
ť ť produce skin changes and hair loss similar to this, but one often is
ť not
ť ť able to get additional grafts to grow in the area of scared skin.
ť These
ť ť combinations of Minoxidil and Retin A can be quite irritating to the
ť skin.
ť ť There is no strong evidence that Retin A adds any additional benefit
ť to
ť ť the Minoxidil. This patient later discontinued using the combinantion
ť of
ť ť Minoxidil with Retin A and later peeled the scab off. The area was
ť left
ť ť without hair and the skin had the appearance of scar tissue.
ť
ť That is scary. You mean using Remox can lead to scars.

Arun,

This patient used Retin-A which caused the irritation. This patient seemed to have been chemically burned then scarred and loss the previously transplanted hair occurred as well.
