I Developed Keloids on My Knee and Ears — Would It Be a Problem On the Scalp?

October 16th, 2007 at 11:32am Under Hair Loss

Following a scrape on the knee and an ear piercing I developed keloids. Would that present a potential problem whether I were to undergo transplpant surgery?

October 15th, 2007 at 04:36pm Under Hair Loss

Can dying your hair whilst taking propecia effect it from working properly?
