Lupexil® for hair treatment: Temporary Fall.

Here we present the second and last part of the topic related to the androgen and temporary hair loss.

In the article we talk about the hair loss inherited and how to avoid it with minoxidil. This time we will talk about the fall of the area and time, which need a shorter time in the treatment with minoxidil.

It should be noted that, like the androgenetic fall, the temporary fall and the zone must be controlled at the same time, since many times the infection or what causes the fall, can advance and further increase the fall, even being temporary.

Area of ​​the fall: The alopecia is characterized in that the fall of hair is only in some zones of the head, and it can seem small patches or hollows in the scalp or the beard. In alopecia areata the area of ​​affected skin has a normal appearance, there is no inflammation, redness, scaling or other anomalies, which differentiates it from other alopecias. Generally the cause of the fall is due to a virus or infection that causes this type of fall and occurs in men and women and sometimes there is also a hereditary predisposition.

When patches or holes in the scalp are mild and adapt, solutions such as anthralin or solutions such as minoxidil 2% or 5% can be applied. Usually the problem disappears after one year of taking the conminoxidil 5% treatment.

We also have the temporary fall. This type of fall occurs suddenly, and the fall of hair is quite, since it can be noticed when combing, or simply by passing the hand through the hair. The hair becomes a little thin.

Generally this type of fall is associated with physiological stress, with some emotional or physical trauma or emotional distress. These conditions cause the hair to pass before time to its resting phase, that is, the stage when the hair falls naturally. In general, it is like a defense mechanism of the body, and once the condition that originated it has been controlled, the hair grows back. This problem can last approximately 3 to 6 months.

When the sudden fall or the first days in the necessary problem is noticed, to avoid that the sea is greater. If the hair loss is due to stress, which can control the situation, avoid that the body is under stress for a long time and start with the treatment of minoxidil. Biotin is usually added as a supplement to strengthen the metabolism and make the root of the scalp more resistant.

Hair loss due to oily skin. It is a disorder in which the fat producing glands that are located in the scalp and other areas of the skin produce an excessive amount of fat or sebum. Stress, a high consumption of fatty products, lack of physical activity, lack of hygiene, become the causes of overproduction of fat in the skin.

In these cases it is necessary to control the overproduction of fat, before applying a cosmetic on the skin. You can avoid oily skin by applying some anticeborreic shampoo, in order to avoid overproduction and control of its reappearance. The cases can be treated with the help of shampoos with salicylic acid, disulphide sulphide or zinc pyrithione, which can be used twice a week, or with products containing coal tar, which are applied three times a week. the same time In moderate problems, these products are often used until the situation stabilizes, and then the frequency of use is reduced. Subsequently begins with the treatment of minoxidil to regenerate damaged hair and recover the hair in its entirety.

It should be noted that the enzyme 5-alpha reductase is multiplied in the capillary fat, so that when the production of this is increased due to seborrhea, it is easier to produce DHT and have more hair loss. That is to say, the problem can become something bigger: in androgenic baldness.

In general, these are other factors in which minoxidil helps to prevent hair loss. When the fall is temporary, it is always necessary to control the situation that causes the fall of stress, oily skin, some type of physiological imbalance, etc. Before applying the minoxidil and take it in its entirety for 6 to 8 months as the case may be.
