Hello Doctors,

I just read an exposition from a writer for the local paper about her 100 pound weight loss following gastric bypass, which is something I’ve considered doing for myself.

Is My Shedding From Propecia or Minoxidil?

October 30th, 2009 at 11:35am Under Hair Loss

About 3 weeks ago, I was prescribed generic finasteride by a physician (and told to use Rogaine, as well), but after I experienced some side effects he suggested that I stop the finasteride.

Since that instance, I’ve continued using Rogaine and have experienced an increase in shedding which, while expected, is still pretty unnerving. I still have full coverage of my scalp for the most part, but my concern is that I’m shedding what seem to be strong, dark hairs rather than light, … [visit site to read more]

DHT Tagging?

October 29th, 2009 at 05:31pm Under Hair Loss

Dr. Rassman,

I was given a separate dose of oral testosterone by my endocrinologist and I had not taken my daily Propecia. I’m afraid that the DHT surge did some damage by “tagging” follicles.
