I am slightly confused by your question. If you are saying that the hair originally grew and then fell out sometime later, that confuses me. Previouos hair transplants, once they grow, usually last the lifetime of the patient. A good doctor would, I would guess, offer you a repeat procedure if he could not find […]

We have known for some time that smoking reduces skin circulation, particularly in the scalp. These articles do connect the dots between smoking and acceleration of hair loss in those individuals who are genetically prone to it. Of interest, there is a clear suggestion in these reference articles to the original research, which show that […]
While smoking does not directly cause hair loss, it has been shown to reduce the circulation of the blood flow through the scalp. For past posts related to this, see: Smoking Cigarettes and Hair Loss If I Quit Smoking Will My Hair Regrow? Can Smoking Cause Hair Loss? Tobacco and Hair Loss
Smoking cigarettes and using marijuana can have negative sexual side effects independent of Propecia use. With respect to testicular pain after starting Propecia, I have occasionally heard reports of this as a relatively rare side effect. Usually the pain is not significant and will subside. However, it is more important to check with your doctor […]
I am not familiar with a proven connection between smoking, drinking alcohol, and hair loss. Your definition of “party” may include drugs, in which case hair loss could be a problem, though I hope this is not the case. Please note a previous post, Does Drinking Alcohol Contribute to Hair Loss?
Patients react differently to their newly transplanted hair. In some people, the transplanted hairs completely fall out before regrowing after a few months. In rare times, they grow and keep growing after a hair transplant. The final results of a transplant must be assessed no sooner than 8 months from the time of surgery, because […]
I doubt that finasteride side effects have accumulated or “snowballed” over time. The side effects may NOT be related to Propecia (finasteride 1mg) and could be associated with your smoking (which does impact blood supply to small blood vessels) or even something else entirely (I don’t know your medical history, so I can only make […]
After two doctors who have actually examined your scalp, I doubt I can guess what your mystery rash on your scalp may be (especially via the internet). If you are thinking that you are developing frontal balding, please read the following reference article: Juvenile vs Mature Hairline — Am I Going Bald?
With people who drink excessively, diet and vitamin deficiency commonly becomes a cause for hair loss. After heavy drinking, there are stress reactions that can precipitate hair loss. The more of these bouts of drinking, the greater the stress on your body. Drinking does impact the liver and the liver is a critical organ in […]
High hairlines in some women are normal genetic patterns, like the size of your nose and other facial proportions. If you really have a high hairline since you were much younger, then there are things you could do for it surgically. Some women with the genetic hair loss genes can lose their hair in response […]
He should see a dermatologist. I am assuming that he does not use a wig/hair system. Traction alocecia is a common causes of this with wigs. I am also assuming that he is not a hair picker; trichotillomania is not an uncommon finding and is an easily diagnosis with hair mapping for miniaturization. The diagnosis […]
Medically speaking, smoking cigarettes (even the cannabis / marijuana kind) promotes poor wound healing by decreasing blood circulation. It may have an impact on your hair transplant, however, I do not know how much of an impact it will have. Exercises such as sit-ups that may have a potential to stretch the back of your […]
It is well known that smoking and tobacco products have adverse health effects. Nicotine in tobacco products are known to constrict blood vessels. This could lead to poor circulation and possible hair loss. To see this effect (of poor circulation) squeeze your nail bed until it turns white and see how quickly it returns to […]
If you are a Norwood Class 1-2, this is not balding, but
