My daughter is 18 months old. She currently gets 4 ounces of breastmilk during the day on weekdays as well as some solids for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On week nights as well as on weekends she is breastfed.
I have been diagnosed with alopecia areata and severe thinning of hair (male pattern baldness). For the alopecia my dermatologist injects a shot of kenalog on the affected area every six weeks. For the thinning he has me on 50,000 units of vitamin d once weekly to treat a vitamin d deficiency (my level is a 14) which he thinks MAY be related. I also take 3 fenugreek pills three times daily and 1,000 mgs of evening primrose oil for breast tenderness and a prescription shampoo to treat dandruff.
Because we have not seen a huge improvement in the hair loss, my dermatologist wants me to consider using Rogaine. He thinks this will contradict with nursing though. Is it safe?
