The only connection between seborrheic dermatitis and hair loss is the way you apply the treatment. If you are not gentle, you can pull out hair. Desonide is a prescription topical medication, so you should be asking your prescribing doctor what he/she suggests.

We have written about this over and over. Here’s some bulletpoints: See your doctor (as only a physician can prescribe Propecia) and ask him/her these questions in detail after they take your history and examines your scalp to determine that Propecia is something that would be recommended. Propecia has a side effect of decreased erection/libido […]
There are 2 medications that are proven to work — finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine). Minoxidil is available in a generic form and over the counter, so it may be included in various products sold in stores as boutique brands. These brands are sometimes mixed with vitamins that likely won’t help treat your hair loss […]
People attribute all sorts of problems to specific medications, but I doubt the Rogaine (minoxidil) caused the libido effects. You used the medication for 2 years before you saw any issues, so it is strange that you’d suddenly develop a loss of libido. I would’ve tried using less of the Rogaine (or in your case, […]
I don’t know what to tell you. If you’re itching with minoxidil, stop using it, but you run the risk of losing the benefits the medication gave you. Propecia won’t keep hair grown by minoxidil, and vice versa. Propecia works to prevent or slow down the balding in the man who has started to lose […]
The 1mg dose recommendation is across the board, but it might be worth a try at 2mg as more and more doctors are now trying a slightly higher dose. Double check with your prescribing physician, but if you do not have side effects, go for it. We really do not know how finasteride will alter […]
I suppose too much of anything can be a bad thing to some people. In our experience, a high sex drive is a common side effect of Propecia (more than a low sex drive), but a high sex drive is a very common “problem” for young men in their 20’s as well, medication or not. […]
The marketing material for Estrodex says that it “creates an anabolic environment by decreasing estrogen and increasing testosterone levels”. I am confused here — are you male or female and why are you taking something that impacts your hormones? You are all over the place with your drugs and treatments and I suspect that you […]
You said it all in the first paragraph above — the makers of those products “both make hair loss products and claim that they are really effective in treating hair loss“. To be sure that this is the case, it MUST be scientifically studied with a good peer reviewed (that means unbiased) process. I agree […]
Old age does not cause hair thinning — just look at Ronald Reagan at the end of his life. Hair loss starting at your age is highly unusual. You should be evaluated for your concerns and as you are in Southern California, I invite you to come see me at my Los Angeles office, where […]
I do not quite know what you are asking. If you are considering a hair transplant procedure, you need to see a hair transplant doctor for a good physical examination and his/her evaluation. Generally, hair transplants in a 22 year old man is approached with great caution for two key reasons — You may have […]
I do not give much credence to the value of the other approaches mentioned. One pill of Propecia each day should be adequate and it is certainly less complex.
Reading reviews online is a good first step, but take everything you read with a grain of salt. It is good to be wary and to not just believe marketing hype and slick graphics that make claims to work without any scientific proof to back it up. Trusting your source is critical, as there are […]
I am answering your questions in the order you asked: The available FDA approved medications for hair loss can help slowing down or in some occasions stopping the process of hair loss. Early 20s is the period that most physicians don’t want to rush into performing a hair transplant, because it is hard to predict […]
Minoxidil comes in a variety of forms (2% and 5%) and types for women (has alcohol base) and for men (more oil based and harder to groom and style). It also comes in a foam, which appears to be better and easier to apply in the 5% concentration. If you add minoxidil to your Propecia […]
