Here is the study, I figured it was rather interesting. When people don’t know anything about us bald/balding folks they see us as less socially attractive than non bald dudes. But once they get to know us they actually find us MORE socially attractive than non-bald males.

Edit: Are half of  balding men retarded? Or just not reading the full post? The point here is that bald/balding men are MORE socially attractive than non-balding men from a perspective of SOCIAL attractiveness to people that know them. No one is saying the physical part is ground breaking information. Cheezits…

There is not much for me to say than is said in the publication.

A hair transplant doctor I know has noticed that some of her finasteride patients who started taking cannabis, has seen ED appearing. The article states: “What’s good for the goose may be bad for the gander. Specifically, marijuana use may cause erectile dysfunction in men. Of note, erectile dysfunction is the most frequent male sexual disorder.”  For men on finasteride and who are using marijuana and have sexual side effects, maybe there is a link that potentiates the ED in finasteride users.

The FUE grafts have skin on the surface which is now establishing itself in its new home. IT will become less visible over time.

Noticed my hairline has been receding since I turned 16 and since then it’s just got worse but wondering what treatment I am able to use the now for hair loss as I can’t take finasteride and if minoxidil will be affective long enough until I turn 18

See a good hair doctor and get real good advice from proper diagnosis and treatment. This is too important than to be your own doctor

not to sound ignorant, but what benefit do I get from seeing a doctor, other than getting the receipt for finasteride, which I‘ve already done? Or are you thinking about transplants? Different question: I wanna try topical fin, but I‘m not sure where I can get it in Germany, I saw that some people mix it themselves, I don‘t think thats a good idea…I could order it from the US, but that would be too expensive for me in the long run.

A good doctor will give you a Personalized Master Plan for your short and long term hair loss management. It doesn’t necessarily mean a hair transplant. I am a hair transplant surgeon yet I manage many men for hair loss even though I never do a hair transplant on them. I show the patient caring, empathy and bring my expertise to the situation at hand.

I began aggressively working out 2 years ago when I graduated from school. I was at least working out 5+ days a week and gained around 15 pounds of muscle. With this came seborrhoeic dermatitis – dandruff on every hair follicle (took photos with a hair microscope camera) , DHT itch (especially during cardio), and obviously hair loss/thinning. I stopped working out because my scalp looked and felt inhabitable. I went to over 3 doctors prescribing different meds but in the end finasteride cleared it up. With the combination of Ketoconazole, my hair feels a lot better! I only started this regimen 2 months ago but I’m shedding 90% less. My hair is still very thin… soooo should I start working out again? Should I wait 6 months so the hair gets stronger? I’m leaning towards waiting 6 months but I would love to hear from users who are on Fin + hitting the gym reg

More likely that with age, genetic hair loss may be slowly appearing regardless of what you are doing with workouts. Do whatever you like, life is short!

From the photos, it looks like the drug may have stabilized the loss. It is possibly slightly better but most important it is not worse. If you were to stop the medication, I’l bet you will lose a lot of hair.
