Dr. Rassman,

I additionally understand that you have answered that question, or at least very similar questions many times. I’ll ask besides, considering you seem like a good guy.I am a 27 year old white man. I have severe depression and OCD. I recently (past couple of months) started obsessing about my hair. I’ve always been overly … [visit site to read more]

I’m a black female and two years ago I wrote to you guys about dreadlocs and hair loss. I cut them off and kept my hair nearly to the bone most of 2007. final year, after growing my hair back for a few months I cut them off after experiencing very localized alopecia at the back of my head along my ears (about an inch inside my hairline). I thought that perhaps it was reaction to the hair dyes I used so I cut it all off and started by and was all growing in nicely. Well now a year … [visit site to read more]

Hello,
I am a 23 year old Sikh Male. I have always had expanded hair my whole life. And I have been suffering from either traction alopecia or eczema on my head but I am not certain what it is. I am seeing my doctor soon to diagnose it. My doctor has given me 2 different types of shampoo and a liquid clear acid application that burns the skin after I shower. And nothing works, I’ve had that for nearly 10 years now. Any suggestions? I have tried everything BUT wear my hair out in the … [visit site to read more]

How do you determine benefit from a treatment whether there has never been regrowth and further loss? I’ve used 2% minoxidil once a day for many years with out regrowth and continued loss. I continued on the assumption the loss might have been worse without treatment. But that’s just a guess. How do I know whether I’m just wasting duration and money? Do you assume that after many years the hair is going to become minox dependent regardless what the seen results are and quiting is a not good … [visit site to read more]

I have a question concerning today’s blog post. you mentioned that “exclamation point” hair is a sign of a disease but isn’t that what happens when miniaturization occurs in general? doesn’t the shaft get smaller, generally at the root first? that’s what’s happened to me. does that mean i have a disease? i doubt it. i got my thyroid checked when i first noticed hair loss and … [visit site to read more]

Summer’s here and so is the nightmare of frizzy hair care that is abundant to send most who have them to the salon for a very premature cut. But stylists say there’s no anguish as towering as you follow the 3-P’s, Prevention, Production and a Product that works for you. Having frizzy hair means you have to wash less or you’ll be spending a ton on re-doing your hair, curling and damaging it increasingly. On windy days, best use those bandannas or scarves by your hair to prevent tangle and drying it out too much. No scarf, a piece of fabric that matches your clothes and style can serve the same purpose. Covering it plus prevents it from getting to look like a bird’s nest, towering abandoned and shredded by instance.
Under the sun, use lots of hair protection that is rated with UVA and UVB protection to prevent the sun’s rays from cooking them to a crisp. and final, most of us have a complain or two with our hair (blame advertising) and living with less than perfect hair is a nightmare. Lucky for you, you yourself might have found products that work for you and not just the stuff you see on the many ads on TV and print. Stick to ones you know work but don’t be afraid to try new stuff, get testers or smaller ones so whether they fail your expectation, you don’t waste cash.

Hello,
I am 25 years old and have a gradually receding hairline around the temples and thinning hair for about the past two years, but I’ve been wary of getting propecia considering of the health risks, and I thought about Rogaine Foam, but I heard that it it smelled and led to shedding, among other things. Since I’m trying to hang on to everything I have left, I didn’t want to take the risk of incurring meaningful shedding with Rogaine, as well as no promise I’d grow any hair back … [visit site to read more]

Dr, I have been taking Propecia for 10 years. whether the drug would indeed stop working, what precisely would happen? Would I have some design of telogen shed? Or would the loss be gradual? The reason that I ask is considering I am going through a severe shedding phase that began in September of 2008 and it continues until now. I have indeed ordered the “generic” drug from abroad the past couple of years. Could the abroad drugs be bogus and that is the reason I began shedding … [visit site to read more]

Why isn’t minoxidil taken orally? I’ve always been under the impression that drugs taken orally (like Propecia) get to the root of the problem as opposed to ones topically. For instance, whether caffeine theoretically helped hair loss, I would think consuming caffeine would work better than putting caffeine on one’s head.
Minoxidil was originally used as an oral anti-hypertensive medication for the treatment of high blood pressure. It was unpredictable in its use so it … [visit site to read more]
