Dear Dr. Rassman,
In one of your preceding posts, you said that a scar from a strip surgery will be at about 80% of healing after 6 weeks. From that logic, I wonder whether keeping the staples longer after a strip surgery (for 6-8 weeks, rather than the usual 14 days for instance) would help in getting a better scar…
I know that for practical and cosmetic reasons, keeping the staples longer can be problematic for many society, but in special cases where there is increasingly tightness due … [visit site to read more]

I have been on Propecia for 2 years; I am 45 years old and have seen no improvement in my hair. I am somewhere amoung a NW 2 and a NW 3. The fontal forlock has thinned significantly while on Propecia. In your practice have you seen any patients quit Propecia and not get any worse or do most folks experience increased hair loss once they go off the medication?
Also, I would do a hair transplant immediately whether I was confident that I could go back to work undetected after 2 … [visit site to read more]

Hi Dr. Rassman,I have been to two dermatologists about my recent diffuse shedding which I believed to be telogen effluvium and they did very little to help considering they said “you look like you have hair”. One dermatologist took some of the shed hairs and said he could not really tell whether there was clubs on them considering they were somewhat clubbed but had a tail too. When i look at them i can clearly see a white bulb at the end about twice the diameter of the hair but at the end of … [visit site to read more]

I was thinking about my health the
other day, something we discuss fairly regularly here. Somehow, I thereupon
began thinking about my schedule, oh how unhealthy that sometimes is. It’s
funny that, despite technology’s speedy solutions, the day never seems to have suitable
hours.
Even so, in every rigorous commute
or otherwise lost hour, I try to get the most out of it. One simple solution
I’ve found is podcasts. So, I’ve decided to influence my lost hours on the
subject of health. I’ve listed a few great podcasts on
health from iTunes. Spencer Kobren’s Bald Truth Radio was picked up on XM radio whether you’d
like to build out his increasingly current lists.
Podcasts:
MUSC On Men’s Health

whether i take 1/4 proscar with breakfast will it get absorbed in my blood streem or is the tablet just too small after it is mixed with food? Do you think it is better to take it on a empty stomach? Thanks
I’ve often said that in my opinion, it is best to take it before breakfast. I generally think that it is best taken on an empty stomach although it probably makes no difference on the absorption issue.
