Dear Doctor,
You routinely advise society to stay clear of Scalp Med, Follicare, Spectral DNC and other similar products.

Your conclusion: Just buy plain minoxidil!
Well, I would agree that many products have probably a zero chance of working. Fabao, for example, contains nothing increasingly that Chinese herbs and is formulated based … [visit site to read more]

Two questions. I was at CVS and looking at the back of an olive oil hair conditioner product. It said that product, unlike petroleum jelly, does not clog hair follicles. So does petroleum jelly actually clog hair follicles and would that cause hair loss?
Also, that is not a new occurrence, but I often feel little bumps on my head that seem to be caused by dry scalp, but these feel like tiny pimples that cannot be popped. Does that have anything to do with MPB? Perhaps they’re … [visit site to read more]

Dear Dr Rassman,
According a study done on behalf of Merck, patients treated with 0.2 mg finasteride showed about an increase of 61 hairs versus an increase of 77 hairs in 1 inch square treated with 1 mg of finasteride by the 6 month period. So can we say that taking 0.5 mg of finasteride may yield nearly the same results with 1 mg treatment
