I don’t believe that this man who thought he had good work done will be happy with these results. His hairline is straight (no hairline is straight) and the donor area has a large number of patchy areas reflective of a surgeon who used a large punch to perform the FUE. This is a post-operative […]

Taken from the British Medical Journal. This man was treated with penicillin and within 2 weeks the scalp problems disappeared. This is shy, if you develop such a problem, you don’t want to be your own doctor. Just on encounter with a woman who has the disease can cause this.
Hair loss or patchy hair at the neck can be from a variety of issues. Without a good examination and medical history taking (otherwise known as seeing your doctor), your guess is as good as mine. Sorry.
You should not treat yourself. If you weren’t satisfied with your dermatologist, get a second opinion! I’m sorry I don’t have a clear cut answer for you, but this isn’t something I can make recommendations for over the web. A good dermatologist in your home town is the person to see.
Some people have uneven facial hair distribution and others are delayed in their beard growth, which may develop well into their 30s with more uniformity. You should wait and see what grows out as your beard matures. Alternatively, you may consider transplanting hair from your head to the beard area, assuming the caliber of the […]
To answer your question I would be giving you a course in dermatology. To answer your question about the scalp biopsy, I believe he is looking for fungal infections (it would show the actual fungus interacting with the skin), autoimmune diseases (it would show certain primative defensive cells attacking the hair follicles with reactive tissues […]
If you have a series of bald patches that appeared on your head, I would be concerned that you might have Alopecia Areata (search this site for “Alopecia Areata”). I am surprised that your dermatologist said that she’d never seen this before, as it is a common problem in the study of dermatology. This can […]
It sounds like you have Alopecia Areata. This is an autoimmune disease that has genetic origins. You need to see a dermatologist. Hair transplants usually fail to grow in the patches of hair loss if the disease is active. Visit the National Alopecia Areata Foundation website for more information.
It just made me realize something though, will stretching the scalp with FUE greatly decrease hair density? Even with a larger FUT session, since there’s stretching involved, does that decrease hair density? If so then what is the difference in a decrease in density due to either FUE or FUT since in either one, the […]
I fear I may have developed DUPA. My sides and back have become transparent and I am approaching an NW7. I have added oral fin, oral min, and topical pyrilutamide which I believe has helped and the oral min has regrown some hair and increased thickness a bit. But the density is still poor. I […]
Look at your donor supply as a bank account, but it has follicular units (grafts) instead of money. Caucasians are born with 110,000 hairs or 50,000 follicular units (grafts) of which something between 10,000-12,500 that contain permanent hairs. It is a simple calculation that if there are 50,000 grafts (follicular units which I am now […]
I am 4 month post op after 2500 grafts and I have had it cut for the first time today grade 1 so it’s short and you can see the area where the surgeon has taken the grafts. I am fully aware how the transplant work and under no illusions the area won’t thicken out […]
I feel as though I’d rather recede than diffuse all over top. Just so it’s easier to estimate a future transparent. My hair is long on top and when dry, it looks thick like Joe Jonas hair. When wet you can see the diffuse thing and patchy areas. I’m only thinning on top. I do […]
The circles show where the hair loss has progressed since his hair transplant. I tell 21 year old men who want a limited hair transplant to wait until at least they are 25 or they will be back every year as the hair loss progresses as shown in these photos with the circle just one […]
This is very patchy results. I think the grafts that were transplanted came in patchy which means that many did not grow. I would go back and speak with your surgeon. If you were my patient, I would make it “right.” A good examination is critical to going forward and in trying to understand this bizarre result. […]
