Many doctors recommend the use of both Propecia and minoxidil at the same time. I tend not to do this, because it would addict the miniaturized hairs to minoxidil, possibly unnecessarily. Plus, if you do see hair regrowth while using both medications, you won’t truly know which one is showing the benefits and will essentially […]

Having white hair or gray hair at an early age just means that you have white hair or gray hair at an early age. It does not mean you will not go bald and it is neither good nor bad. Its just your genetics. Likewise, having an itchy or dry scalp just means your have […]
Having dreads or braids can cause traction alopecia, which is not reversible unless it is caught early enough. For those who are lucky enough to catch it before it becomes irreversible and the dreads or braids were not in for extended periods of time, you may experience regrowth of hair. If this is the case, […]
The vertigo you have experienced is a known side effect of minoxidil (which causes a drop in blood pressure on some patients). Unfortunately, you are your own doctor and just did not know what you were doing. As you report good results from the combination, I would restart up immediately on the Propecia (finasteride). Hopefully […]
There is no way to speed up the impact of finasteride (Propecia) or minoxidil (Rogaine), but the impact can be appreciated better if your start off with 1/2 inch hair and then observe the change over time.
You could be experiencing new hair growth. Follow it over the next few months and get some good photographs if you can ASAP and then more later on to compare.
Hair regrowth from known medications can not be seen clearly for 8-12 months. That is because the hair cycle is about 4-6 months and then there is a period where the hair must grow out at 1/2 inch per month. I do not endorse the use of Avodart at this time for treating hair loss […]
Almost every patient will experience varied rates of growth by where in the scalp you are looking. I have seen the crown exceed the frontal growth rates and visa versa. You must have patience. Generally you can expect newly transplanted hair to grow within 8 months. You seem to have a relatively early growth and […]
You are on schedule for your hairs to be doing what they are doing. It is not unusual to lose grafted hair as the old transplanted hairs shed. Sometimes the stubble of the transplanted hairs stay around for a few months, then they sooner or later fall out to their “death” (not really an appropriate […]
To my knowledge there is no evidence that finasteride can stunt growth. What you are talking about is theory and to look for that answer, the drug company would have had to conduct a study of people under 18, finding out if there is a different height/weight in those on the drug some years later. […]
If there is redness at all, it will be gone in 19 out of 20 patients within a week. It generally starts to regrow (like seeds of grass that get placed and take time to grow) in 2-5 months. I tell most people that they can see the impact of the hair nicely by the […]
Is your son balding now? I would guess from what you are describing is most probably genetic hair loss. Avacor is overpriced and has minoxidil as its active component; I would have been surprised if it would have worked. The marketers of Avacor do a hell of a job promoting the ‘benefits’ of their product […]
Yes, you appear to be growing new hair where the arrow points. Is appears to be early growth and in time it may get better
If you pluck out hairs once, they will grow back, even those that are in the early growth of a hair transplant. If you pluck it out 20 times, likely it will not grow back. I don’t know how many times it takes to reach the threshold when it doesn’t come back. Doctors see patients […]
3 months on minoxidil with arrow showing early growth. The photo on the right shows growth at 8.5 months. Amazingly responsive.
