Milk Makes My Scalp Itch and Propecia Eliminated That

I am 100% convinced my brother is losing his hair due to heavy dairy consumption (around 4-5 servings of milk a day). He is 100% genetically my grandfather who never lost his hair and never had any dairy ever. I believe my grandfather would have lost his hair the same way if he also had dairy. My brother’s pattern of loss does not even match my father’s or anyone else going back several generations. When I myself consume milk my scalp begins to itch literally within seconds and if I have a lot I get dermatitis around my nose within a day and a very itchy scalp ever since I was 11. Coincidentally Propecia eliminated the itchiness I constantly got.

Even Dr. William Danby who specializes in the dairy and acne connection suspects male pattern baldness is promoted by dairy consumption (see link and scroll down) Protein Shakes and Acne

Have you ever seen anything like this in your practice?

Thank you

This is new to me. Thanks for sharing it with us. I can’t explain why Propecia would eliminate itch from consuming dairy, but if that’s what works for you…

I’ve written about dairy and hair loss before here.
