Go back and see your doctor. If you are using minoxidil, it could cause this.

At this point in time, your doctor can treat it with special steroids that reduce the redness you are seeing. Redness that lasts 5 months is highly unusual.

Bullied my whole life for being too ugly, when things were getting slightly better, I start going bald.. from tressless

You should go back and see your doctor. I always tell my patients that you can expect 80% growth in 8 months. The picture you showed does not reflect much hair growth on your left side. If your doctor is honorable, he will answer the following questions for you:

1. How would he explain the failure?
2. If he was to do it again, would the failure from the first time happen again? and
3. Will he do the surgery for free considering the full extent of the failure?

Failures like this are either due to:

1. The result of some dermatological disease that was present and undiagnosed at the time of the surgery (unlikely considering that there was good growth on the other side) or
2. A technical failure of the surgeon and/or his surgical team. If the person placing the grafts was rough in the handling of the grafts or kept the grafts outside of the body for over 20 seconds, the grafts could have died.

Differences between the two sides are often a reflection of the person placing the grafts. A lack of experience can make a world of difference when two different people are placing the grafts, one working on one side who is better than the person on the other side.

The man above researched our practice and found Scalp Micropigmentation. He wanted to know if this would work for him since scars from accidents and brain surgery are very difficult to treat. He seems to have an elevated scar in the middle of other scars, which could be flattened with steroid injections prior to having Scalp Micropigmentation.

Alternative solutions would include a series of balloon expanders, but this would be expensive and take considerable time.

This seems like a sound study. Don’t rush to fill yourself with seafood, just yet!

I’m a 20 year old male concerned about possible hair loss. Baldness does not run in my family, as my dad is 50 years old and has not lost any hair, and my grandpa is 75 and is just now getting a bald spot. I’ve noticed that when I comb my hair, some hairs fall on the sink, leading me to get worried.

My hair is naturally thick, but recently I’ve felt that my right edge (possibly thinning) and front part of my hairline has changed shape. Is this a sign of a receding hairline, or is it maturing? If so, should I see a doctor for a Finasteride prescription? I don’t think Minoxidil works on the temple area, so I won’t bother trying.

You are probably developing a maturing hairline as you still have a juvenile hairline present. This usually occurs between the age of 17-29 in men. Finasteride is not going to impact your transition to a mature hairline.

The evidence is now mounting that a virus, identified as Adenovirus-36, is responsible for obesity. The evidence is seen when antibodies are picked up in 30% of obese people compared with normal people who had a 5% incidence of the antibody. The virus has been found in flocks of chicken in India that made the chickens grow fat. When the virus was injected in mice and monkeys, they gained weight. A study was performed on women with breast cancer, and it found that 81% of obese women with breast cancer had the antibodies to the virus. We have long believed that obese women have a higher incidence of breast cancer.  When the virus was exposed to breast cancer cells in a dish, they multiplied twice as fast as normal cells. Now, with that said, there does not seem to be any funding to find out if there is a connection, but the connection to cancer is not being overlooked.
